HWY 25 run anyone?

I know its getting cold (extreme summer tires) but is anyone interested in doing a (spirited) hwy 25 run anytime soon? They recently just reopened the 29 Dreams bar as Courtyard 25 and a few buddies and myself take to the road every few weeks on Saturdays and then stop for some wings and a beer at Courtyard. Post up if your interested in going and i'll send you my phone number for meet up info.

I may be. I live about 8 miles from there. Depends on the weekend though. I'm pretty booked 'till after the holidays.

J 09s,

Please post the date you have in mind. As Reebus said, most of our December schedules are pretty full.

Does anyone know why the AMS site is down?

I'm not sure Russell, why it's down is a question mark. I imagine that it's at the very least a small pain in the a@@ to keep it up and running. If we do something in January for the 25 run, I'm in!!

Hello, I'm new to the site, and I don't have a Mini (yet). I joined the site to learn more about the cars. I am considering selling my Goldwing and buying a Mini. Anyway, if you guys do meet, I would love to join you. I might even ride with you and try to keep up!

Rick

That's cool with me Rick! Lets meet up soon guys. I need to burn through these tires one more time before getting new ones! I can't wait for that fresh rubber.

I'm in. It is supposed to be nice tomorrow. I bet there will be tons of cars and bikes at that place that used to be 29 Dreams.

How does 2 sound? We meet at Bass Pro Shop off the Hwy 78 exit off interstate 20. Upper parking lot to the left as you enter the store parking area.

Invite all your buddies! This isnt a MINI exclusive drive so the more the merrier! The weather might not cooperate but i'll probably go rain or shine!

To recap, we meet at Bass Pro at 2. We'll make our way to Courtyard 25(formerly 29 Dreams) for a wing or two and then drive back. Its always a good time. Hoping for a good turn out. Seeya tomorrow!

-Jordan

*edit*

Sorry this was a little last minute. Next month I'll plan it a little further out so we can get maximum participation! So excited ya'll!!

I have been away for too long but would be up for a run. I live out Moody way so Bass pro shops sounds great.

ps I need to get my car dirty. Are there dusty roads you all know of? Isn't Cheaha gravel for a bit?

I live in Chelsea and my mom is in Leeds so I'm never that far away from Bass Pro Shop. Would love to do a Rex Lake run this weekend if anyone is down.

Sounds like a blast! Unfortunately i need new tires before i can go on another run. It might be a couple more weeks before i'll be ready to do it again.

Its good to see some newer faces around here. Where is the Rex Lake run at?

I'm out this weekend. Too many other plans. Would have been fun! I want to check out how much of a difference my new rear sway bar makes. I may have to sneak out to 25 sometime soon.
