You can seriously drive and had a blast following.

My wife was excited another female Mini driver went and will drive the next one

Oh stop, you're gonna make me blush...

Well even if my navigator can't come with me next time I'll be happy to lead again anyway... as long as no one minds getting totally lost.

Off topic but I just freaking dented my 2008 MCS by hitting some road debris on the NYS Thruway. What a piece of **** road.

Ok done ranting.

Miss Moxie getting lost in the Hudson Valley is usally a good thing.

I feel your pain. Last week I became the proud owner of a dent on the bottom portion my passenger side door thanks to some **** on the Thruway. Today I barely avoided catching a piece of tire to the windshield that the pickup driving moron ahead of me decided to drive over and launch between his stupid dual rear tires.

Have I mentioned how much I *adore* my commute?

The next event? Yeah I have to plan that but it will be soon just make sure your registered at www.tshared.com. I go out every Sunday for a drive rain or shine so there is always a run happening

I did 56 miles last Sunday (got lost and had to pull out the gps) and hooked up with 2 evo somewhere in Ulster County for some damn good fun they actually pulled over and we got to talking. This Sunday I did 48 miles and man there were alot of bikes out.

My 02 MCS is running great right now and look forward to running it hard on the weekends

I commute 100 miles a day to NJ so I am with you and dont drive for distance on the weekend or on Hudson Valley Runs. It is all about the roads so when I say I drove 48 miles it was on roads like this:

Definitely a good time! I look forward to the next one... unfortunately on 4-19 I'm taking a defensive driving course which will be an all day thing... then I go to a nice Greek Easter dinner. LAMB!

As I was getting out of my car, the owner of that car was just walking over to get into his car to leave. He did not say a word nor did he even make eye contact with me. If he had I would have struck up a conversation. Sad, very sad.
HaHa-that was me!
