  4. Earlier
  5. Mike and I are excited to attend our first MOTM. We're bringing our little dog Minni too
  6. Jill and I are going. Heading to the UP and Canada afterwards.
  7. Just a heads up for you all that attended to MINI school, the event on Sunday is on a different Circuit then the School was. We will be on the Washington Circuit (bigger than the Potomac Pad). There should be signs marking the way, but to be safe here is a quick set of directions.
  8. Let us know if you plan to attend MOTM in August. August 4-5 in Michigan MINI On The Mack Registration
  9. Late to the forum, but TeAh and I wanted to say that we had a great time, and can't wait to ge out with our MINI friends again!
  10. It was nice to see you again Susan, it'd been a minute since MTTS. Glad you and Jerry enjoyed it. (He and I bonded over insurance at Bear Chase, ) Bummer that it was so cloudy, the view at Bear Chase is amazing. Looking forward to seeing you again at MOTD if not before then.
  11. Thank you Lori for a fun event and for getting the weather to behave! Though I've been in this area for nine years (and believe it or not used to come up from NC for DC Metro events occasionally when I lived there) we definitely hit some fun roads I had not been on before .. such beautiful scenery! When we were stopped at a red light, Jerry and I were talking out loud (is there really any other way? there's my early Sunday AM brain composing a sentence) that if the other non-MINI vehicles stopped in traffic saw 4 MINIs with both MD and VA plates, would they think we were together or would they think it was a co-incidence? Four MINIs would seem to be the quandary point - at 5 MINIs it would be a "definitely planned" gathering -- but in fact at 5 MINIs it was not See you again soon. I will get the drives together that I have promised, just have to look at the calendar. (Except for the Great Ice Cream Jog, that will definitely be July 29)
  12. That was the coolest thing! What epic timing. We were a little confused at first, "How did he know the exact moment we'd be in Middleburg?" Thanks for taking the photos and for sweeping for a bit
  13. Look who we found heading to the feed store for supplements this morning. It was a complete shock as the intersection cleared at the Safeway in Middleburg to see STXMINI drive by with three MINIs in tow. Glad we got to be the sweeper for a few miles. IMG_2549.MOV
  14. Thank you to everyone that came out today, it was fun driving horse country with you and sharing a beverage at Bear Chase afterwards.
  15. No problem, thanks for letting us know so we don't wait on you. You can "Leave the event" by clicking in the green box under "You are going"
  16. Hi, I'm really sorry, I have to cancel my attendance. I am bummed but hopefully will be able to attend a future run. Thanks!
  17. We will be there, no matter how wet. See you in the morning!
  18. Right now we plan to run rain or shine unless everyone drops out. Hoping that it clears though, it’s a beautiful run when the sun is out. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow
  19. Just signed up - there will be two of us in one MINI; though not sure what the plan is if the weather is rainy? Will keep an eye on the board .. fingers crossed for a weather clearing!
  20. I am ready to get the season started, always a fun day at autoX. I know we for a lot of you it will be your first event (@Zach, @Widdie, @SheerHippo, @jim0020) please post any question you may have I am happy to do my best to answer them or @Egadd will definitely be happy to give his 2 cents also. If you have the question I bet everyone else is wondering about it also. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few tips for you packing list: - A rubber tub ( it makes it easy to take everything out in one container when you empty your car, and keep stuff dry if we get any rain) - Sun protection (sunscreen, wide brim hat, etc..) you will be standing out in the sun during course work and sun reflects off the pavement - Pack a lunch / snacks ( you can run to the snack shack, but personally I think its better to have you lunch there and be able to chat with people on the lunch break) - Painters tape is good to put your numbers on if you do not have assigned number for the season *** air pump, tire pressure gauge, tools are not necessary to bring, you can always borrow if you need them*** Please notice that the first event is not in the same place as the AutoX school, we will be on the Washington Circuit. Straight when you come through the gate I will put a map in here later.
  21. So the plan right now is to still make our way to Middleburg. The road closures for the Art event are on the side street that parallels the main road (Washington St) so we should be ok to drive through town. We'll parade on through, and head toward Bear Chase. Our run is really only about an hour and 15 minutes long, so a lunch stop isn't necessary, the Middleburg stop is just part of the Derby vibe of the "Run for the Roses" and was well received last year. Bear Chase has plenty of food options. Also, I have been watching the weather, it appears as if the rain forecast is supposed to end mid-morning, it should be clear for most, if not all, of our drive. **As a reminder: Bear Chase has a gravel parking lot
  22. Whoa! Thanks for posting this, we may need to pivot our lunch spot. Parking is already a nightmare in Middleburg
  23. Hey were we tracking that Saturday will be Art in the Burg in Middleburg? A couple street closures planned, though not the main highway. Parking may be tricky though. https://www.artintheburgva.com/
  24. You can purchase a membership though the store.
  25. Looking to join, how do I go about this? Thanks!
  26. Mike and I will be doing a test run today. The route will be the same as last year. I have the route on a PDF, but right now I do not have a GPX map for you (Corey usually does these for me). * Also, as a reminder, this is a Saturday run at the same place in Leesburg that we normally meet at. There will be NO Cars & Coffee on Saturday, but it's the same meeting place as C&C, which is why it's referenced (This caused some confusion last year). * Lunch will be on your own in Middleburg, we'll stop for about an hour. * Ending at Bear Chase Brewery (The place with the view) * For our EV drivers: First leg is about 35 miles long, second leg is about 29 miles long, and there appears to be a Tesla charging station near our lunch stop. * This will be a dog friendly run RUN FOR THE ROSES.pdf
