As far as the maps go...

When your registered for MITM, we noted that all registrants will be receiving an e-copy of the Maps, Logistics, and Agenda by email prior to the event. That will happen on or about August 3rd, Friday before the event.

You have the agenda here, or most of it. You will also get detailed maps regarding the rides and the logistics with the 'details' of the things you need to know.

So yes, but not just yet. We will do this right after we close registration.

Thanks,

JPS

How is the Ralph Schomp MINI Pit Lane going to be run? Do we have to make an appointment? I have a list of a few issues I've been having with SPOON hehe.

Pit Stop means just that

The factory mechanic will be on hand. He will not have computer diagnostics nor all the tools he needs. Further, he will have a limited inventory of parts - those that can be used with a floor jack.

The whole point of the pit stop if your safety and comfort. Ralph Schomp MINI, at no expense to you, us or MITM, is giving us the courtesy of a professional advisor who will perform basic and rudimentary services. Further, and if needed, they will advise you about how to address any problems you have.

Please don't expect to have the same service options and choices you might have at the dealership. However, you can expect to have the same fast, fair and friendly folks who will help you with anything MINI that they can.

Thanks,

JPS

Maybe I was seeing things...

Wasn't there a early morning Sunday run to somewhere (a pass, a good photo op) that is not on the schedule now?

I'm sure that a few people will want to do a drive after breakfast before going home. Just keep your ears peeled. (ouch)

You all are correct. There WAS...

a sunup ride to Loveland Pass, at 5 am. I just decided that I would be too tired to do it...but that does not mean you cannot.

We decided, based on last year's movements, that more pp would go to FRISCO for breakfast, line Main St., and say their goodbyes that way....than get up for a ride. So we scrubbed it.

We have a board for 'impromptu' rides..we can still post it and do it if you like.

Thanks for noticing.
