Today in motorcycle history, May 1, 1976





  The BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado is organized May 1, 1976 as MOA (Motorcycle Owners of America) Chartered Club #66.  

 

   In addition to hosting the world renowned Top O' The Rockies Rally in Paonia, Colorado for the past 20+ years, they are also host to the annual 100,000 Foot Ride that takes riders on some of the most spectacular roads in America.      

 

  The Top O' The Rockies Rally is the club's annual rally located on the grounds of the City Park in historic Paonia on the Western Slope of the Rockies.  The Top O’ The Rockies Rally started with the idea of providing riders with the best riding and scenery in Colorado.

 

  The BMWMCC also presents an annual all-day riding event, the 100K Foot Ride.  The ride is structured to take you over enough mountain passes to total over 100,000 feet in a single day.  This achievement is not attainable anywhere else in North America.  The 100,000 Foot Ride provides riders with not only incredible views, but a broad selection of some of the best motorcycle roads the state has to offer.
