1975_mini Posted December 18, 2018 Report Posted December 18, 2018 Event Title: Cherry Blossom Run Event Date: 03/31/2019 12:00 AM Event Address: 8700 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA, 22309 RSVP on the event here: Cherry Blossom Run Unfortunately peak bloom in falling the middle of the week this year, but there should still be plenty of blooms for us on the 31st. Be sure to pack a coat as it will likely be a bit chilly when we get to the basin, but it is worth it for the morning views. Come join us on a casual cruise up the George Washington Parkway along the Potomac River through Old Town Alexandria to the Hain’s point (approx. 35min drive). We should arrive as the sun is rising on Washington D.C. and the cherry blossoms. We will enjoy the blossom being sure to capture the great photo ops with our cars for an hour (or a bit longer to not rush). We will be departing the basin and enjoy some roads as we wind our way around Tyson’s Corner and back down into Fairfax (approx. 1 hour and 30 min) ending at Brion’s for brunch and enjoy each other’s company. A great way to enjoy your MINI and friends and still have the rest of your Sunday Start Point: Woodland Shopping center parking lot (8700 Richmond Hwy Alexandria, VA 22309) Schedule of Events: 0600: Driver’s meeting 0615: Wheels up 0650: Arrive at Hain’s Point 0703: Sun Rise 0800ish: Depart Hain’s point 0930: Arrive at Brion’s for Brunch End point: Brion’s Grille (10621 Braddock Rd, Fairfax, VA 22032) RSVP on the event here: Cherry Blossom Run 1 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
1975_mini Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Posted March 24, 2019 We look forward to see everyone joining us next sunday. Its an early start but should be great views, fun roads, and BRUNCH!!! Here is the route sheet for both legs and a map showing the blossom locations. I plan to get some stationary photos at the visitor center and out on Hain's point. I may also kick Brandy out with her camera to grab some shots as we do a parade lap or to around the tidal Basin that way she can catch a few monuments with your MINIs.
