SneakyBaron Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Posted September 12, 2013 I won't know for sure till tomorrow, but there's a slight chance I'll need to ride along with someone. My husband Mark's MINI Max is in for repairs and he has a loaner. He signed up for autocross on Sat so I told him he could take Tigger. I am not taking the Impala on the run, so if this happens would someone be able to let me ride along? He should know tomorrow if he'll get Max back in time. You can ride with me if needed.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 You can ride with me if needed. OK, I would probably take the loaner to the meeting area and leave it there for the day. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

MiniMaul Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 Are the walkies your using on your runs the FRS band type? I still haven't unpacked everything from my move and can't find my old walkies. As far as still being a "Maybe"... Still trying to meet a deadline at work so I can make the trip. I should know by tomorrow morning, but no later than noon.

SneakyBaron Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Posted September 13, 2013 Helljumper is nice, clean and ready to lead the way!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 sigh - I tried to make it work but I won't be coming. I know I can ride with someone but Mark is leaving for the week on Sunday and I decided that since he needs Tigger Saturday I would like to spend the day with him. So I'm going to autocross with him. Hope you guys have a great day!!!! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
CHILLIN Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks for planning the event Craig! Sorry we couldn't stay for the whole run. I ended up taking 211 home and there were some nice twisties coming down the mountain
SneakyBaron Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Posted September 15, 2013 No problem, hopefully I didn't do to bad it being my first lead run and second ever participating haha. Few stills of the group I took and one of me all alone on my way back north haha.
