Lone Star BMW Riders



Join us to a ride to "Paonia"


"Top O The Rockies" is sponsored by the Colorado Beemers Club. This year's rally is the 20th anniversary to be held in Paonia which really rolls out the welcome mat for this popular event Attendence is usually around 1000 bikes. The lush, shaded city park becomes a sea of colorful tents filled with all sorts of interesting riders. The Lion's Club operates the beer pavalion and a "steak night". Live bands play every night. There are incredible day rides in every direction. Twisties, mountain passes, winding rivers add to the adventure. There is a $50 registration fee that covers camping, shower / restroom fees and entertainment. Beer is extra, but it is cheap. Click on the Top O The Rockies link for additional details.
