Hello everybody, there's been some interest in doing another run to New Glarus Brewery in New Glarus, WI. This is the brewery who makes Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel, Moon Man, and a bunch of other great brews. They have a free tour of the brewery, a tasting room, a gift shop, and of course lots of BEER! The town itself has some really good restaurants as well and is a fun town to walk around. I wanted to see if there was anybody interested in caravaning out there for some fun twisty roads, great beer, and maybe a bite to eat in town. I've listed a few dates in the future below to give everybody a few options. If you're interested let me know which dates will work for you. If multiple dates work please indicate that. I'll plan on including the Wisconsin people also and will figure out a place to meet you all. More details to come as I plan the route and see if we can get a special tour for all us MINI drivers. The dates are below so please let me know what works best:

Feb 25th
March 3rd
March 10th

 

I'd love to go but won't be able to commit to any date ahead of time due to my goofy work schedule. If you pick a date and I can make it I'll tag along.

 

I'll tag along. I can make any of the dates listed.

 

Anybody else?

 

Definitely interested!

Saturdays are out... Sundays are great though!

 

I would be in for a Sunday run

 

Sundays are ok for me too. maybe throw some Sunday dates out there, that work for everyone, and we'll see which ones match up?

 

I like that idea!

 

mmkay...

me: 2/26, 3/4, 3/11, 3/18.

you: _______??

 

These work for me also

 

Sundays are good! March 4th for sure!

but all dates feb 26th and after should be good for me as long as it is a sunday

 

Ok. Tentatively set at March 4th?? @STi2MINI does this work for u dude?

 

I'm probably in for this too once all the details are ironed out.

 

So set it up for this Sunday, March 4th? Meet up at 09:00 in Schaumburg at D I C K's sporting goods parking lot? There's a Starbucks across the parking lot.... We could take highway or back roads, whatever the vote goes for. If anyone farther north or in Wisconsin wants to meet up, we could set a checkpoint and time. Let's see who's in.... roll call.

I'd love to make it... Going to try. Coming back from Flint, MI. picking up another MINI.

Don't hold your breath, or wait... If I show, I'll be there on time!!

 

only 4 of us... COME ON!!!

 

Was running a late, looks like I missed you guy, sorry

 

hey we only just left. were taking 90 to Beloit. let us know if you're heading out. we will wait at the belvedere oasis or Beloit rest area. id like to see that new JCW!!

 

I got a severe case of allergies and that totally killed my Sunday. Hopefully you had a nice time.

 

Sorry guys... Tried to make it out, but the round trip to flint, MI just about killed me... including the nice welcome mat given to me by the MI state police...

 

Ouch.... MI has to increase their income somehow!! Sorry you were the victim..


The trip was a success and will definetly not be the last drive out there... I'm sure I'll go back in the next couple months (with warmer weather and stickier tires )

 

That was a damn good beer run!!!
