I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me

I did the pre-run on Sunday for the March Open Run to Old Town Winchester (15MAR26). The twisties along Frogtown Road should get people tuned up for MINIs on the Dragon.

The weather report shows partly cloudy skies and 62, so it should be a fun warmer run. Towards the end of the run allows for close views of the Shenandoah River in all her pre-spring glory.

See you Sunday!

Take me home, country roads

To the place I belong

We have a full group of MINIacs for tomorrow’s Run to Old Town Winchester. Weather looks decent and the twisties are calling our names. We are looking forward to meeting some new folks in the group as well.

I have attached the GPX file in case you want to make sure I don’t miss a turn.

See you tomorrow.

Country roads, take me home

Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'

Please join us for a Sunday drive through Virginia’s rolling countryside. Our drive will begin at the Cars & Coffee in Leesburg and we will head south and west through some of the prettiest scenery in Virginia.

This run will be limited to 15 MINIs and will be focused on enjoying the countryside in a controlled driving experience. We will pass along two meandering rivers (makes for nice twisties), cruise by many of Virginia’s horse farms, make a quick pit stop in Marshall, pop over the Blue Ridge Mountains, skim the Shenandoah River twice (if you put your hand out it will get wet), and eventually arrive in Old Town Winchester (https://oldtownwinchesterva.com).

Our final destination will be at Vibrissa Beer and Kitchen where we will have lunch and discuss our Little Virginia Journey (LVJ). If you haven’t been to Old Town Winchester before, we are only two blocks from the Walking Mall which has unique shops, ice cream, restaurants and three breweries (an extra one is only one a block away).

So, if you like quick twisties, beautiful scenery and relaxing old town charm, you won’t want to miss this Little Virginia Journey.
