maacodale Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 Laura, You Rock! Thanks for adding this. I was just talking to Ali about getting this added. Jacque at Cooper Vineyard has set up a pretty neat event I think. The band covers everything from classic rock to country to jazz. She promises a totally new shirt design this year and the food vendor is highly rated. Don't forget the "Spirited" drive over to the vineyard hosted by HR MINI. It's an hour and half drive of 45 +/- miles though some great scenery and decent twisties. This year we're starting at Crown MINI where they'll have coffee and snacks as well as restroom facilities. We'll be wheel up promptly at 9:30 AM. Make plans to join us for our drive at Crown MINI 8710 W Broad St Richmond, VA 23294 If you can't make the run over to the vineyard, just drive straight there for the festivities. The event kicks off at 12 noon till 5 pm.

Poison Ivy Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Bump for a reminder, plus pre-sale ticket price ends Fri at noon.
Poison Ivy Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 Anyone up for caravanning to Cooper Vineyards?
DBeest Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 I'm unfortunately going to miss this event. I'll be participating in the Marine Corp Marathon Running Series 4 mile race in Quantico that morning.
Stephatron Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 Anyone up for caravanning to Cooper Vineyards? I'd like to caravan but I think we should hit some fun roads
maacodale Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Hope to see a bunch of my DC Metro MINI friends either at Crown for the drive over or at the vineyard itself for the Rally! Either way, drive safe!
NYRican MC40 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Quick question, anyone knows if kids pay?(7 years old)
Poison Ivy Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Dale what time do you think you'll arrive at CV? So we can plan our departure time.
Stephatron Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 Alrighty so I'm not sure what method of communication everyone is using so in case you are not my Facebook friend or didn't check your inbox: I have coordinated a route that I don't mind leading in a more spirited manner. Meet up at Starbucks off the corner of Prince William Parkway and Hoadly Rd (12853 Galveston Court Manassas, VA 20112) at 9:30. From Starbucks, we will head down Hoadly Rd, turn right on Purcell Rd. Follow Purcell to the end, turn left on (234) Dumfries Rd. Then turn right on Independent Hill Rd then left on Bristow then slight right on Joplin Rd (619). Joplin Rd is a 45 mph scenic road. Then we will hop on 95 S for about 20 miles to exit 130A Plank Rd/State 3 E towards Fredericksburg to Route 1. Then take Route 1 to VA-208 W/Courthouse Rd to County Rd 606/VA-208 W/Courthouse Rd to US-522 S/VA-208 W/Zachary Taylor Hwy. I will be using my factory nav and iPhone as needed. Please bring two way radios and make sure they're on 7-21 if you feel like doing a caravan with me. If you don't, see you at the winery
GreenCactus Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Posted September 7, 2013 I've taken 522 before (by accident), it's a fun road!
Stephatron Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 I've taken 522 before (by accident), it's a fun road! I'll let you know! I've never been there before I think someone suggested it to Catalina so I can't take all the credit
smoke789 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks Steph, for leading us to the winery! It was a great route. And a beautiful day at Cooper Vineyards. Everything was set up so well. Very organized. We really enjoyed our day and meeting up with our HR MINI friends.
