Here's a link with daily updates to the status of the blossoms:
https://cherryblossomwatch.com/cherry-blossom-watch-update-march-21-2018/
I'm not going to go on Sunday. One, it's going to be too cold that early in the morning and two, it's going to be too cold between now and then to wash the car.
-
I’m arriving Wednesday and leaving Saturday.

Yay!!! What products are you using these days? I'm still burning through my vats of Prima but I think some things are running low
I'm trying to use up what I have, so it's a mix of Adam's and Prima.

If we get to the deadline and we're still short, I'll buy another one.

I was wondering if anyone was going to do this! (I would, but I don't have space).
I will probably detail Gretchen before, but I will bring my supplies. I am also able to help with any decal installations!

PTuning can do the alignment when you're done. They can also do the install if you decide you don't want to DIY. They installed Ohlin coilovers on Michael's Roadster and did a great job.

I'd have to leave at 5:00am to meet you guys, so I'm out for the drive into DC. However, I might be up to meet you at Hains Point and go for breakfast. I really need to get some pictures of Gretchen, I only have one.

We just finished the route check. The roads are wet, but otherwise no issues, so we’re on!

I love the body color wheel arches. I had planned on doing that with Cricket at some point... I don't think it would look as good on the F56, so I'm not going to do it. I am planning on blacking out most of the chrome, though. It just needs to warm up enough on a weekend!

I might have spoken too soon about the weather.
At this point, I'm not going to change anything. I will make the call by 11am on Sunday if I'm cancelling the run. I do not plan on cancelling the race watching because I can walk there.
-
I didn't sign up for any of the drives, but if I end up coming down on Wednesday, I'll probably join Carl's brewery run on Thursday.
Brandy - Deep Creek Falls is really pretty! I may go there again on my own!

If you are planning on attending, could you please update your RSVP? I know a few people have told me they are coming, but according to the RSVP list, it's just me.
Also, if you are planning on staying until the end of the race, Cuginis closes at 8pm. The race should be done by then, but in past years the Daytona 500 has taken forever. They may stay open a little later if there are a lot of people there, but they usually won't. The bar/restaurant across the street is open much later and will also be showing the race.

The weather is looking pretty good for Sunday, especially since we aren't starting until the afternoon. We did a partial test run on Sunday and the roads are in pretty good shape.
Some things to note for the event:
-There will be no route sheets, so please be sure you have a radio. We will have another Poolesville resident as a sweeper, so we won't lose anyone!
- Games! There will be some silly games and trivia to keep you occupied during the race.*
*The race starts at 3pm. I really don't expect anyone to stay for the ENTIRE race (though, you're welcome to).

We used to have a Golden Broom Award, not sure where it went.

i am going to stay away from spirited runs for myself, we are bringing both cars, since my accident i am a little more hesitant and still have not gotten the feel for Nila. He on the on the hand is a driver so he and roxy will be doing those spirited runs.
we are scheduled to be there on Thursday, travel plans and time of arrival are up in the air,
right now i am definitely in on bingo, and wine and painting, i want to do the deep creek waterfalls run, maybe the ice cream or apple pie run. considering doing the dome run instead of the brew swap as well.
Some of the "non-spirited" runs are fairly spirited, so be prepared. It's one of the reasons I don't do the organized runs anymore. I was pokey enough in Cricket and I can't imagine how slow I'll be this year. I don't want to annoy anyone else.

This is so true
I'm leaving Saturday free and only do one run a day when I do them. I never try to squeeze in 2 runs, is too stressful
I made the mistake of signing up for two runs ONCE. It was the Deep Creek Falls Run, then a dinner run to Nantahala Outdoor Center followed by Bingo.

Don't overplan! I did that my 2nd year and I was exhausted. There's always someone around willing to go for a drive if you don't get signed up for the "official" ones, too.

I don't think it's that hard to change the radio if you are changing it to another MINI radio. It's when you go with the aftermarket stuff that it gets complicated.

Event Title: Daytona 500 Run
Event Date: 02/18/2018 01:00 PM to 02/18/2018 05:00 PM
Event Address: 19616 Fisher Road, Poolesville, 20837, United States
Let's celebrate the start of the 2018 racing season and therefore a sign that Spring is eventually coming by going for a drive and watching the Daytona 500!
When: Sunday, February 18, 2018 @ 1:00pm
Where: Cuginis - 19616 Fisher Road, Poolesville MD 20837
Details: We will meet in the Cuginis parking lot in Poolesville at 1:00pm and depart at approximately 1:15pm. We will go on a short (30-40 minutes) drive on the nearby roads. Since we are gathering to watch a NASCAR race, the route will consist of all LEFT TURNS! After the drive, we will return to Cuginis for food, drinks and race watching. The route will NOT include Whites Ferry.
Sunday is all day happy hour at Cuginis, $4 draft pints, $5 personal pizzas, $.50 wings and a few other specials. Their tap list is constantly changing but they keep an up to date list on Untappd. https://untappd.com/v/cuginis-restaurant-bar/863949
In case of inclement weather, the drive portion will be cancelled.
*We will be sitting in the bar at Cuginis. If anyone in your group is under 21, you may be asked to sit on the restaurant side.

We're bringing some kind of food, probably an appetizer, but definitely not dessert.
Michael decided we’re bringing meatballs.
