PS - You're still leading Mike!

To think, I thought that detour was to help cool off my engine...it was getting so hot by those short bursts of boost on the backroads

I'm semi-RSVP'ing. Depending if I can switch my hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., I might be able to go on the first half of the run.

As previously speculated, I will be +1 on this event (as in me + a guest). That is unless things get really fouled up, which I don't think will happen.

The run ends after lunch.

does that mean there is no post-lunch portion of the route?

[the run ends after lunch]

I do not have any additional route planned. If some are interested, we could run the route in reverse. That could get everyone looking like this :impatient if we do it right. :smile: Doing that would get us back by I-95, 195, and 695 instead of following the directions out the I-70 from the restaurant to go home afterward.

There will be at least two points (possibly 3) along the route where people can join in along the way, and others can say their good byes if they can't participate for the whole run.

A limited number of MINIs are welcome to join us if you want. email me at valnmike2@yahoo.com we can exchange cell phone numbers and coordinate any details as needed.

Here is a mapquest link to the start point. If you put in your (home address) start point it will provide driving directions to the Burger King.

Well, so far no takers on the dry run. If anyone wants to run the route but can't make it next Saturday, this might serve as a substitue.

Darn!! I missed the Oct. 1st dry run !! It could have been fun driving with the MCSa .. ( my Little One) is still at Tate - If you decide to re-do it on Sunday I can be there.

I cannot make the 8th (scheduled myself to work) but James maybe in with Stellina so Mike. Paul count one for the 8th.

Also, Wagnbat, you and Chai are more than welcome to ride with me, if you're feeling brave!

Printing the route sheet from the linked PDF messes up the page breaks. I will bring a couple of dozen copies printed from the original Excel file with me to the meet and greet. See you all there.
