Greetings MINIacs,

What:
Please join the British Motoring Club of Montgomery and the River Region MINIs for a lunch Run to Mike & Ed's BBQ in Auburn [Menu] [Map] 307 North College St., Auburn, AL 36830, (334) 501-1866

When:
On Saturday, January 26, we'll meet in the Burlington Coat Factory parking lot behind Hardee's near the intersection of Atlanta Hwy & E. Bypass, in Montgomery, at 9:45am. Be topped off with petrol and ready to roll at 10:00.

Route from Montgomery to Auburn:

• We'll head for Auburn via US 231N to Elmore County Road 8E (Redland Road);
• Continue on Elmore Co. 8E to AL 14 in Tallassee;
• Continue on AL 14 through Notasugla and Loachapoka then into Auburn;
• Straight ahead on Bragg Ave. at N. Donahue Dr.
• Right onto Warrior Ct. and into Mike & Ed's parking lot.

56 miles, 1.5 hours ETA 11:30

I've tried to pick a route with minimal traffic lights, but we'll be using 2-W radio channel 5, subchannel 0, or plain ol' channel 5 for the older radios if there's a problem.

Route back to Montgomery:
We can't have a trip over this way without taking advantage of the hills and curves on AL 50. It's a little bit farther, but we avoid downtown Tallassee and lots more fun. Check out this [Map] for details.

69.3 mi, 1 hour 47 mins

Sorry this is coming so late, (the BMC Website has been undergoing a major upgrade) but here's a report with photos at the bottom of the article, of last month's BBQ lunch run to Auburn. It was great to meet so many new MINIacs.
