Bowie to Sterling run for tomorrow's Breakfast

Reposting here for visibility:

What: Bowie to Sterling breakfast run.
When: Meet @ 7am, depart @ 7:30
Where: Bowie Dunkin Donuts


The Bowie to Poolesville Run 1 hour 20 mins.
Poolesville to Sterling Run says ~ 45 minutes, via Ferry, but likely does not include ferry delay.

Meet at Dunkin Donuts behind Bowie Town Center (Click the link, click on A, and it will let your print directions from where-ever), at 7am. Get coffee, eat food, be merry, & prepare to motor.

I'd like to depart DD @ 7:30am, for ~ 9am arrival to the Ferry. Will be 'fashionably late' with a fresh coat of dust on our boots, hot coffee, and smiling faces for the Sterling Breakfast. Estimated arrival time ~ 9:45-10am.

Don't forget your radios!

I'll have calendars on-hand (someone remind me to make sure I have them @ Dunkin Donuts before we go):
1. Wagnbat [PAID] [DELIVERED]
2. indimini
3. Paul!
4. sprp85
5. lastrega [PAID] [DELIVERED]
6. CmdrVimes
7. golden child
8. Discosmurf
9. samiam01 [PAID]
10. MiniZoom [PAID]
11. PBWhitson [PAID] [DELIVERED]
12. Edge

I would have paid if someone would have remembered the calendars on Tuesday night....

Oh yeah, I will *NOT* be joining you for this little drive. It would make no sense for me to drive down to bowie to then go to sterling.

I'll be ready, cash in hand, for the calendar tomorrow. Hope you all enjoy your run... and I'm glad to see you're willing to make the trek to my "second home" (feels like it sometimes anyhow!)

Valid sense points:
- Motor with people you like.
- More time motoring overall.
- Better coffee.
- Like a pre-meet before the meet.
- Shows club pride & dedication.
- All the cool people are motoring from Bowie.



BTW. The ferry line said they are open from 5am-7pm 365 days a year, and the cost should be $3 per Mini.

Nah, that's OK... I'll just respond by saying that cool people drive stick shifts... or at least are trying to learn (had to make sure Sally was included).

Cool people aren't limited to Bowie. They are just motoring FROM Bowie, tomorrow, morning. 7am. Coffee, calendars, and a need to motor.

Oh! I just remembered!! I forgot to post that Australians aren't invited to the breakfast tomorrow, unless said Australians let certain DCMM event coordinators 'borrow' about $35,000 for an '06 JCW MCS.

Sorry!

They've been open everytime I've gone, since they opened about 4 months ago. I have no idea why a donut shop isn't open at 7am on a Saturday morning. That blows my mind.
