donemcclure Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 I could try a HSB in April. I haven't led a run, but willing to give it a shot. Also, Monica and I are heading to MOTM (Mini's on the Mack) July/August. Our plan is to hit all the Great Lakes on the way...could certainly make it a run if a few folks wanna tag along. 2

That is going to be a fun trip, As for the HSB. They are great first runs to lead, and I am happy to help you plan it. I will shoot you a private message to discuss further 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

donemcclure Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 I was thinking of going to Barrel Oak winery and brewery for the April HSB. It looks like there are some previous runs that ended there. I'm looking at the weekend after Easter, either Saturday 26th or Sunday 27th. Does it matter Sat/Sun, is there a club preference? 1

That sounds great. The dates are completely up to the drive leader, we do both Saturday and Sunday runs. Not sure if Corey will be here on Sunday the 27th however (Hopefully he'll weigh in) due to his responsibilities with MINIs On The Dragon which starts April 29th. If he's not, I'll make myself available to help with your first run if needed, I'm not leaving for MOTD until Monday.

Atomic Monkey Posted Thursday at 08:27 PM Report Posted Thursday at 08:27 PM Has the April 12th HSB been canceled? The above link to Barrel Oak Winery/Brewery is a dead link. The April newsletter listed a different HSB destination, Wilderness Winery, for the same date, but that link is also dead.

Note: When I click the card for the HSB to to Wilderness Winery run, in the April newsletter it works for me. Because you are not a current Club member you won't be able to access the link. But if you'd like to go, just let Don know, unless he plans to cancel the run. The Barrel Oak Winery run was switched to Wilderness Winery back in mid march but I did forget to update it above, thanks for the catch!
STXMINI Posted Thursday at 11:45 PM Author Report Posted Thursday at 11:45 PM ALL: We've struggled the last few runs with participation, if you have feed back to share please let us know what we need to change so that we are better able to serve the club going forward. (Our thinking is that the runs may have been a bit further out, or maybe it's been this awful spring weather)! Thank you @PlaidSneakers @TheEnglishBeat @donemcclure for putting the runs together for us, we appreciate you volunteering! 1

I purchased my membership in June. I thought memberships lasted a year?
donemcclure Posted yesterday at 02:12 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:12 AM @Atomic Monkey, just sent you a message. Can meet up, or lead the two of us. : ) Weather looks cold/rainy Saturday morning so maybe not the best day, but up for whatever. Since there were no RSVPs I marked it as CANX, but let me know.

I tried one last SM post last evening but didn't see any responses, I'll make a post that it's cancelled. Thanks for setting it up @donemcclure. This weather is annoying! 1
