Where: We will gather at the McDonald's across the street from the Westfield Shopping Plaza in Annapolis, MD. Directions below.

ROUTE BREAKDOWN

Directions to McDonalds:
From Virginia and other areas around the DC Beltway: Make your way to Route 50 and head east towards Annapolis. Leave Route 50 at Exit 23. Keep to the right on the exit ramp to merge onto Route 450 / Defense Hwy. Continue straight through 2 lights (road becomes 178 / Generals Hwy after second light). McDonald's will be on your left. (It's across the street from the Westfield Shopping Plaza (aka Annapolis Mall) facing Border's.)
From points around Annapolis: Head west on Route 50. Leave Route 50 at exit 23B. At the end of the exit ramp, make a left at the light onto Route 450 / Defense Hwy. Go straight through the next light (road becomes 178 Generals Hwy.). McDonald's will be on your left. (It's across the street from the Westfield Shopping Plaza (aka Annapolis Mall) facing Border's.)

From other areas: Use your GPS or favorite online mapping program and head to address:

McDonald's
2130 Generals Hwy
Annapolis, MD 21401
(A quick note: If you look up this address on McDonald's website, it shows it at an incorrect location! But if you plug it into Google Maps, Mapquest, or something similar, it will plot it right and give you correct directions.)

For those of you who aren't familiar with this run. It is a GREAT design by Paul! and I am attempting to take his route and hopefully will have him there to run it! It is a very nice run starting in Annapolis and ending up on the bay for lunch, and then back through twisties and great backroads.
Now, I haven't looked at the run yet to make maps for everyone...I will work on that today, so don't ask me questions. Just show up!
Last year we had so many people, we had to do this run in 3 groups! So lets get ready for MOTD and get to some twisties!

 

You might want to edit the title to add 'MINIs By the Bay' or something . This is a no-go for me.

 

huh? it is there. OH, I think I get ya, I accidently hit return instead of shift when I was making the title..

 

Lemme know if you want the route maps and directions I did last year when I ran the 3.5 version. I also have my GPS files but they will only work with Co-Pilot.

I'll miss this as I'll be in Atlanta for a wedding, and taking a detour through the Dragon to show it to the folks while going down.

 

Awesome! I missed this one last year (I think I was at my sister's wedding in Australia). I'm definitely in!

I might have to drive it in my <ahem> "other" car though, since there's a decent chance mine will still be undergoing auditory surgery.

 

That would be great! Is it something you can email me? I'll take all the help I can get

 

Yup, I'm looking now. If I don't have them at work I'll dig them up when I get home.

 

Thanks! That will help with what Paul gave me as well

 

I just may have to charge you for driving your other car!

 

I hope the weather behaves better this time.....

 

Count me in.

 

You going to bring the entire crew, or just you?

 

We'll be there

 

We would love to be there...may attend all or part. I'll RSVP and let you know closer to the date.

 

We have 2 adults as of now. I will inform you if there is any change.
Thank you.

 

I also hope to attend. MBTB is one of my favs... right now though it depends on my school schedule

 

You should counterfeit the "other" car

 

Just signed up for my first run. It'll be me and my pint sized copilot. Looking forward to meeting you guys on the 22nd!

 

I'm in !! Are we finishing the run with an ice cream, as well?

 

Can I have a copy of that too please.

I'll convert it to KML (Google Earth) if anyone is interested.

 

1 KML file for me please Thanks

 

Count me in - presumably I'll get everyone lost again this year. :-)

 

The wifey and I are in. :-)

 

Remind me not to follow you.

 

I'll be attending. If someone could shoot me the route map that would be great.

How long does the run take (adding in food/ice cream stops)? I've got to motor down south to Newport News that same evening, so I'm trying to figure out an ETA down there after the run.
