Wish I could have joined you guys. The weather is perfect and I'm confined indoors. Let me live vicariously through your photos later!

Big thanks to Bill for organizing this awesome event.

I wish I could make it all the way to the finish.

Even only 40 minutes that I joined, but it was a 40 minutes that "full of fun"



Thanks again and looking forward for your next run.

WOW!! What a fantastic ride.

Bill, thank you for taking us on that beautiful tour of northern maryland. What a fun and amazing ride!!

So, what's next? Did you say you'd plan a ride for the next Meet&Greet in Towson?

Everyone: it was a pleasure to meet all of you!! Lunch at An Poitin Stil was a delight!!

Thanks to everyone that came out ( no matter how long you stayed).

It was good to meet the new members and see familiar faces again.

Although Jeff made a couple of cameo appearances , on the whole the run was a lot of fun. Besides, the oopses gave us all a chance to stretch our legs.

I'd like to thank my second and third sets of eyes and ears, Minirab and MINI Nav for volunteering as sweeper and relay man.
I'd also like to thank whoever is in charge of the weather. Seven runs- seven beautiful days.

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Bill

Excellent job as always, Bill, even if you did have to bring Jeff this time.

Something I forgot to ask at the Stil - did anyone else see the pig? While Mini_Voyager and I were playing catch up, I swear there was a free pig just walking down the middle of the road. It must have been on Piney Grove or Butler. I wish I would have snapped a pic.

If y'all are interested, I could throw something together.
I was thinking perhaps a rerun of the Baltimore County Bridges and Backroads Blitz Run. A lot of ya missed that so it's kinda like a new route.

Great run as always Bill Wensleydale, Leona and myself actually were taking it easy, I'm still getting aquainted with the new shoes, quite a different feel to them plus I'm a bit "timid" right now with wet and leaves

So here's some photos ! Not much action stuff, busy driving !

The Where's Maxi and the rest of the tail ? stop



A very racey Coop !



Leona on the look out for Jeff



True to her word.....Alice was topless !



MINI owners are strange.....




We did actually see Jeff this time and I snapped a pic ! He's real fast and tough to keep in the crosshairs of the camera !


Fun day Weather perfect

Weather was so nice and the roads are as great as always.

Great job, Bill.

Had a great time "running" through the Baltimore country side! Even though I had to leave early "co-driver" a little antsie... it was a good run.
Several drivers (one behind me, on the second leg) got a little "squirely" on some of the downhill curves!

Enjoy the pictures!

Very welcome, I'll be glad to volunteer again if needed, and I have to thank MiniPol for pushing me into the spotlight as well It was a fun run and thanks for all the work you put into it

^^ Lots of compact cameras were out, if people where snapping pics in auto mode, there's a technical explenation as to why some pictures would turn out unpostable

Mine :

Bill another great run! Thank you.

New Rule!
No one departs lunch until the bill is paid! Bill was left at the end of the line to settle up, and the cash on hand was $40 short!
New Rule!
