May 13th Birthday run to Korbel

Join us on a ride up through the coastal hills of Marin and Sonoma. Tour the gardens at Korbel Champagne. The run starts at Chrissy Field east parking lot at 10am heading north on 101 to Lucas Valley Rd. towards the coast and north to Bohemian Hwy. Then along River Rd. to Korbel. After Korbel we will take some nice roads east into Napa Valley with a stop at Taylors Refresher in St. Helena. Sign up now on the web site.

East Beach

Had a good time on the run. I think we finally out numbered the BMWs at Chrissy Field after the rest of the crew arrived. It sure was good weather. Who's birthday was it anyway?

The early arrivals at the East Beach Parking.

Once again HAPPY 3rd Birthday NorcalMinis. A Great day for a Run. The tour at the Winery was good. Lunch in St. Helena was Super. What a fun day with all my Cooper friends in the Bay Area. Thanks Larry for planning such a Fun run in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties. Glenn

Lol, I thought it was Larry's birthday, didn't realize it was for the club - you must have thought I was crazy wishing you a Happy B-day

It was a funny coincidence how you guys met up at the same spot the BMWCCA was having a 'meet and greet' - glad we decided to stop by for that and see you all as well. I'm sure the run was good, any more pics?

Here's a funny pic we took later when we were in San Rafael after taking the pooch to the vet:



Typical giant vehicle parking situation

That's good!

Usually they all park in the compact spaces.

Not my Birthday. I stopped counting as of last year. Thanks to all that came out. It was a real nice run. The radio chatter was nice. Its pretty amazing to think about what we have done in the last four years. Also thanks to East Bay MINI, Mini Mania, and Seven Enterprises for the raffle prizes.

Those mustangs are very disorganized!

I was at the April Pinnacles run.
I'll also be coming along on the 3rd.
Did you get to see the video?
I guess only a couple people saw it:
