Bimmers welcome?

Would our corporate cousins be welcome? I have a friend with a 335i that is interested in this event.

We went through the member list and went back about two years almost and sent a private message invitation to members of CORN who haven't replied.

We wanted to make sure the word gets out.

We'll be trying for dinner reservations this weekend. So we'll post some totals of cars and people later this weekend.

Time grows near...

Count us in

I think we can make the run. So far the calendar is open. Those are some great roads on a bike and should be as much fun in a Mini.

I got confirmation from my friend. He won't be attending.
I'll have to bring a camera to show him what he missed.

That stretch of road from 2:44 was like riding on rails. Always great to see that video again. That and the Mt. Evans run.

I think that's South Dakota, up around Mount Rushmore. It is a neat video.

It's of Iron Mountain Road and the Needles Highway, near Mt. Rushmore. That was a glorious day of motoring.

Yes, that is Iron Mountain and Needles Hwy. However, here is an old jewel I dug up from my old video rig. Pulling the trailer on the Western end of the Dragon <CLICK ME>
I have provided a map of the dragon as well. <CLICK ME>.
The full dragon is provided in the map but the video only goes from A-->B.

The banging sound you hear in the video is a case of beer trying desperately to jump out of the cooler in the boot.

I really really want to make it out to this one since my wife and I are new owners and have yet to meet any of you. However the week of 13th we will be coming back from a 5-day vacation in Cancun and she has a big test that following Monday so she wants to stay in and study. We'll see how much studying she can cram between now and the meet. If she can't make it then I'm going to at least try to show up for the drive

Nice Dragon clip! That beer banging around sounds like the lobsters we used to bring home from Maine. Except when they succeeded in jumping out of the cooler, it was a bit more exciting.
