[Run still in construction, please check back for updated info soon.]
Kim has graceously offered to lead a fun run to the Oregon coast, so we're taking her up on it.
If you would like to help with this run or have an idea for any others, please let us know! Contact Ryan at ryan@pdxmini.org or Kim at kim@pdxmini.org .
Hey everyone! It was voted at our last rally that since this run is during Memorial Day weekend it would be best to hold it the weekend after. So the Coast Run will be held on June 1st instead. The "run" is still in the works, but I promise lots of twisties!

I am finally picking up my MINI on June 2nd so I'm literally a day late (and will soon be about $20K + dollars short). I look forward to being at the next outing.
I just saw this post. Still happening? What a coincidence....... we'll be driving home to the south coast from PDX on Sunday, so that would be cool to be in on it.
I hope you'll come down as far as Bandon. There are only two MINIs in the area, and we get a lot of attention still. It would blow the minds (in a good way) of the locals to see a stream of them. They're very appreciative. Hwy 42S from Bandon to Coquille, and 42E from Coquille to Roseburg, are fun. I drive 42S to work everday. Watch out for livestock.
Anything I can do to help?
Hi Everyone!
Yes this run is still on for June 1st at 11:30. We will be meeting at the McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro off of Hwy 26. Here is a link for directions & info on how to get there. http://www.mcmenamins.com/Pubs/CPR/
We will be hitting the back roads of the Coast Range & will be stopping in Astoria then head out Hwy 4 in Washington along the scenic Columbia River, then back for more twisties before winding down at the Roadhouse again. Bring your camera & Binoculars! :smile:
Hi again! Well I've motored the "final" run (what a great day for it to!), I hope Sunday is just as great! The run looks to be ~200 miles with lots of great twisties & scenery..hope to see everyone there. If you can, please RSVP Ryan or I so we can make reservations for the restaurant in Astoria.
Thanks to everyone who turned out for the run...I hope you all had a good time! The weather cooperated-it seems we always get lucky Looking forward to seeing you all at our next one!
Kim
(Ryan should hopefully have some pics to post soon..thanks in advance Ryan!)
