The route has been set, and it is a good one, 46.4 miles of Missouri country side, with some twisties, some great elevation changes, and then a few more twisties. As you know, if you have been here before, and if you haven’t, shame on you, this run is all about fun.
Where else can you visit a winery and get your first bottle of wine 50% off (for 21 and older), they even have beer, and the food is really restaurant quality. As always The Balduccis’ will give us reserved parking, and this year we will be in the big barn so we will have more room to enjoy the day.
Have you ever spent the weekend at The Ritz Carlton, in St. Louis, well one lucky person will win a weekend there. Mini mugs, picnic blanket, cups, caps, umbrella, bull dog pillow, coffee cups, flashlights, cuckoo clock and way too many other official MINI items to mention. Oh yea, the roof rack with bike holder too. Many restaurant certificates, t-shirts, key racks, and more. If you have anything you would like to donate for the raffle, be sure to let us know. All proceeds from the raffle goes to BACKSTOPPERS, last year we raised $1600.00, lets see if we can beat that record.
Drivers meeting at 10:00 am behind Starbucks, 4581 Highway K, O'Fallon, MO 63366. This is just north of Highway 40/64 on Highway K. Be ready to MOTOR!!!
　

 

Saturday August 28th

 

We will meet at the parking lot behind the Starbucks located at 4581 Highway K, O’Fallon, MO 63366. This is just north of Highway 40/61 on Highway K.
It is not a rallye, not a race, just a 38 mile run thru the beautiful Missouri countryside to The Balducci Winery. There will be reserved parking for us. Bring a picnic lunch or they have food to purchase. (For non-wine drinkers, they also have beer and of course soft drinks are available).
This years raffle to benefit BACKSTOPPERS is shaping up to be better than ever. MINI Items, Hotel Stays, Many Restaurant Gift Certificates, Golfing Certificates, Baseball Tickets, really too many things to mention. You won’t be disappointed and at the same time, you will be helping an outstanding cause.

DON’T MISS THIS ONE, roads meant for a MINI, good food, good wine, and good friends, how can you go wrong!
