Mark that's OK with me. We can have a game of ring toss.

 

9:00 AM Baseball that is rough. You will be missed.

 

The weather is looking to be excellent, so we'll be bringing BOTH the LRW and BRG We've secured 'co-pilots' so we'll have extra help spotting (and evading) the Road-apples out there.

 

HI Chuck -
I'm new to this, although I have been enjoying my mini since 2006. But I hear the weather should be nice this weekend so I'd like to try and make the drive on Saturday. What time do I need to be in New Albany to leave? And if there is a stop for lunch before returning what is the total timeframe on the drive? Just a ballpark so I can prepare my 6 year old son who will be with me accordingly.
Many Thanks-
Sharon

 

Hello Sharon,

Nice to here from you. We plan on leaving Tim Horton's in New Albany by 9:00-9:30. From there we will wind around the back roads to Charm where we will eat lunch at 12:00. Depending on the time we will go to the Guggisberg cheese shop either before or after lunch. From there we will wind our way to Walnutcreek & stop at Coblentz Chocolates. Then it's off to Trail & then the Wendell August Forge. From there we head to Mt Hope & back south. I'd guess we'd be done by 5:00. That depends on how much time is spent sightseeing.

See you Saturday.

PS: Welcome to NAM & the Mid Ohio motoring group!

 

Since you guys are bringing the LRW I thought we could see how many road apples will fit in it. Cool idea eh?

 

Amish lunch drive 4-18-09
Just a heads up. After the April MINI motoring breakfast there will be a drive up into Amish country for lunch & sight seeing. We plan on doing a different route this time with lunch at a different restaurant.

The weather is looking great. There should be lots of folks plowing the fields Saturday.

 

Actually, since we need to gather some road apples for Mark, we should probably fill an 'un-suspecting' R53 to make sure we don't harvest more than our fair share!

 

Nope I'm sure we need a LRW load.

 

Back to New Albany by 5:00? My wife says I have to be home by 5:30.

 

I just received confirmation, my friend Kevin will be joining us in his clubby.

 

Ben you can bail out a bit earlier & make it home on time. I will give you routing home. Ask me Saturday.

 

Jason your friend Clubby has been added.

 

Hello group! I'm checking out this thread thinking I may drop down to Charm and meet up with y'all for lunch and a little of the drive. Can you PM me the restaurant name or address? Or do I park in the center of Charm at Noon and wait for the parade to arrive?

All depends if I can replace a stretched serpentine belt Friday afternoon. Seems likely.

 

Okay. Thanks.

 

Sorry I hadn't confirmed sooner. I'm a newbie. I am the infamous "Kevin and his clubby." My wife won't be able to join, but we hope to both be a part of future outings. Oh, and technically the clubby is hers...

 

Welcome aboard Kevin! Before this thread gets too confusing, I should note that Chuck calls me Jason and a different Ben may soon be called Jason at which point I may be know as Earl or Mingus depending on which of my hands gets the short straw.

 

Thanks Ben. Really looking forward to Saturday...looks like we're going to have a great day. I'm also excited about the cheese: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3KBuQHHKx0

 

I've got NEW TIRES and I'm ready to roll.

 

New tires how cool is that? What did you end up getting?

I hope it was some of these. Just what the Dr ordered for Amish road debris. They are called Gorilla Siverback tires, no kidding. Earl & Mingus run them on their mud bogger.

 

 

[QUOTE=Crashton; n: Earl & Mingus run them on threir mud bogger.

Do not bring my uncles into this!
I got Potenza G019 Grid.

 

Looks to be a good day indeed! Although with those tires... there will be Road Apples / Road Debris flying all OVER the road!

Glad to see another Clubie join the insanity! Welcome Kevin!

 

If you are insane we can run you up to the old state hospital in Apple Creek.

 

Run him up the road apple creek? Up the road apple creek without a paddle?
