Join us the Sunday after Valentine’s Day for some quality time with our MINIs (Mistress). We will be meeting in the Giant Parking lot in Burke, we will be heading southwest exploring many of the great twisties around Mananas and Warrenton as we wind our way for about an hour to a little lunch counter place in Bealeton, VA.

 

Lunch Stop: M&P Pizza Restaurant, don’t let the name fool you they have a little bit of everything. You can check out the menu at https://mppizzarestaurant.com/

 

After lunch we will continue west and north through Culpeper and into wine country, with nearly two hours of continuous country roads that are a great combination of sweeping turns, rolling roads, technical twisties all while enjoying countryside views. We will be ending this year at the Aspen Dale Winery.

 

End Point: Aspen Dale Winery, 11083 John Marshall Hwy Delaplane, VA 20144 check them out at http://www.aspendalewinery.com/

We finished the Pre-run today, and everything looks great, no gravel other then the winery driveway this year.

this years present is they have freshly paved Crest Hill Rs, some of the best twisters on the route and now smooth pavement!!!!

great little winery and they are excited to have us, and will even be setting aside the back room for us with private tastings. 
 

brandy’s review of the tasting was very good wines, all wines on the dry side. Tasting will be $13.

The Mistress Run will kick off our run schedule this year. As many of us have not been motoring our MINIs much these past few months here is a friendly checklist to ensure you are ready for the twisties.

  • Check fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake, and even washer fluid)
  • Check tires for wear, cracking, bubbles (don’t forget the inside side walls)
  • Check brakes (pad life, any vibration when stopping, is there an annoying squeak)

Optional Run Prep

  • Radios: charge and function check (if this is your first run do not worry, others have spares you can borrow)
  • Cameras/GoPros: Charge and function check (did you get a new gadget for Xmas, try using it on your drive to work to get familiar. You do not want to be fighting with it at the run.)
  • Wash your MINI: There will be plenty of Cameras and GoPros shooting the run, you may want to look your best for your close up.
