I did the pre-run on Sunday and everything looks good … minus the salt and brine. The weekend is shaping up nicely as of today’s forecast, but you might want a hat if you will be driving with the top down. I also wanted to let folks know that we are starting at the Leesburg Safeway instead of the usual Leesburg Public House – Cars and Coffee. This gives us an easy escape route from Leesburg, so we don’t have to drive on Route 15. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it and discussing plans for MTTS 2024 (Jill and I have booked all our hotels). I have attached the gpx file. _2024-01-08_.gpx

Jill and I are going. Heading to the UP and Canada afterwards.

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

Here is the gpx file for the Winchester Run. I don’t see any of theses comments when I look at the event from the calendar. Hope to see you there on Sunday. _2023-04-25_.gpx

I will be completing a reconnaissance check for the Winchester Run tomorrow (23APR23), if anyone would like to tag along. I will begin at the Run’s starting point, the Leesburg Public House, at 0930. I plan to depart by 0945 and drive the entire route to check on timing/route compatibility (no dirt roads). I will also be sampling a beverage at Vibrissa Beer and Kitchen, then heading to the outdoor walking mall for lunch. If you are planning on attending the April Board Meeting via Zoom, you will probably have to do it from Winchester. I will be posting the GPX route by Tuesday.

This run will be similar to the Mistress Run, but not a Hop, Skip, and a Brew Run. 85+% twisties with quick elevation changes, but will be flat along the rivers. We are usually at or above the posted speed, but within the group’s abilities. If you only want flat out driving, a Hop, Skip, and a Brew or a day at one of the Autocross sessions might be more applicable. I do all three. Would love to have you attend.

Ok, I will do the 30th from Virginia.

Does it need to be on a Saturday? I could do 23rd or 30th. How long does it need to be and do we need to end at a restaurant or Brewery/Winery?
