BMW MOA Grand Coddiwomple - 2022 |
BMW Motorcycle Owners of America - Grand Coddiwomple
IT'S THE GRAND CODDIWOMPLE - FOR 2022!
The BMW MOA is excited to announce the 2022 edition of its free riding activity open only to MOA members - the Grand Coddiwomple! What is a
Coddiwomple, you ask? Well, it means “ to travel in a purposeful manner toward a vague destination”. So, think of this is as a large-scale
scavenger hunt created just for BMW MOA members!
The Grand Coddiwomple is about all the places you will go and the fun things you will do that you would not have done otherwise. You get to choose
your own Challenges and routes ridden on your own schedule! Everything is spelled out on the RULES and CHALLENGES pages.
Completing this activity should be relatively easy. Scoring a very high points total will be more challenging. Although there are some competitive
elements, it’s not about prizes nor competition. It’s about all the things you’ll see and the places you’ll go! It’s designed to give everyone the
opportunity to participate, even if your riding time is limited. The entire point of the Grand Coddiwomple event is to have fun riding your motorcycle!
This event runs from April 1, 2022, through October 31, 2022.
