Goose Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Event Title: Blue Crab Run (Cantler's) Event Date: 08/25/2019 08:00 AM Event Address: 458 Forest Beach Road, Annapolis, Maryland, 21409, United States RSVP on the event here: Blue Crab Run (Cantler's) Join me and some of our merry MINI friends on a trip over the Potomac and through Maryland for some blue crab. We will begin in Leesburg and venture our way over the Potomac using White's Ferry. We will continue on through a small portion of Montgomery County and into Howard, over Brighton Dam, down 32, and into Anne Arundel County. Exact route to be determined. I am limiting this run to 15 MINIs. Parking is at a premium and we must get there at open in order to get decent parking. Cantler's opens at 11:00am. Please bring $5 cash for the one-way ferry ride (if you plan to take it back to VA, its $10). Begin Starbucks 1011 Edwards Ferry Rd.

BendersMINI Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 I really enjoyed this run last year - especially the food at the end! [ Unfortunately, I can't make it this year due a packed travel schedule in Aug... ] 2021 F54 JCW - Midnight Black
Goose Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Posted July 29, 2019 HEADS UP. I moved this event to August 25th. I realize I need a weekend between my vacation and this event in order to plan. Silly me. Sorry if that messes anyone up. 1 Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)

Brandy_Brown Posted August 20, 2019 Report Posted August 20, 2019 Can’t make the rescheduled date, going out of town for my birthday! How did the pre-run go? http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111

How did the pre-run go? Quite a bit of construction, particularly through Clarksburg and the top part of Germantown...but hopefully at the time we are going, we will be just fine. Since, so far, there aren't a ton of MINIs signed up, I'm not worried about the exact time we get to Cantler's 1 Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)

There are some roads that are quite narrow so it will be best to be vigilant in looking out for oncoming traffic and bikes. 32 minutes ago, MELO-R56 said: Everyone be sure to bring $5 cash for the ferry ride! Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something. I edited the description, also.

Goose Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Is there anyone who doesn’t want to drive necessarily but would be up for the navigator position? Remember, there is crab and other goodness at the end of this run...ha.

Goose Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Posted August 24, 2019 Tomorrow is looking like it’s going to be perfect weather wise. Keep in mind that there are going to some narrow parts to this run and there will likely be plenty of bikers out and about. So, I will do the best I can to alert everyone to oncoming hazards, but please, keep your eyes peeled. Also don’t forget your two-way radios and cash for the ferry. I look forward to seeing everyone in Leesburg at 8:00 tomorrow. Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
