My damn SES light came on again... this is the second time within 2 months. I'm taking it in to the dealer today for a repair tomorrow... I'm still down for the ride providing my MINI doesn't have too many issues and it's just a trip in the sensor. I'll keep you all posted, but I'm looking forward to this drive, hwy 25!

Okay, GCM, now I think you're just looking for excuses to skip another run!
J/K I hope your baby is a-okay after her (his?) fix/check-up tomorrow.

I know, I know... It seems like something always comes up! I assume that it's just a trip in the sensor, but I will post my results. It will be good to get a free car wash out of the gig... I'll be nice and clean this weekend!

Creeker -
Sorry, the parking lot you indicted is not a good place to meet.
The parking lot is entered from Searle and upon exiting you cannot turn left to head east on 156.
A better place would be the exit before this = Hwy 129
After leaving the Hwy go right at the stop light and there is a parking area immediately on the right. Easy access back on to the Hwy.
Or, if you want to keep this meeting spot, you can turn left as you exit the parking lot and travel north on Searle to Hwy 129. Turn right on 129 and then right again back on to 101.
I could meet up with you at either of these spots.

Thanks for the info DrkSlvrS. I normally drive through that turn and don't pay much attention to the traffic pattern near that lot.
Let's make the 1st stop where you suggest, at Hwy 129 here:

Once the pack is back together, we can head down the back roads of Hollister.

Willum - next time you're headed over this way you should really try J1. It'll put a smile on your face.

I think I will meet up with Drkslvrs and Willum at 129 and 101. It's closer for me since I can catch 129 easily from Hwy 1. See you guys there around 10 .

I think this was the best Run yet!
Lots of laughs (pictures of that LY wanna-be will be posted soon, I'm sure ) and plenty of open roads with twisties, turns and MINIs galore!

Many Thanks to Dave & MINI of Concord for the awesome MINI apparel!
And to Brian for mapping the route and leading much of the way!

Oh, and a great big Welcome to Kat (Cat?) - our newest 'member!'

Congrats you guys. I wish I had made the run. Keep me posted to any more Nikki runs. I definitely want to join in the fun. It was raining hard up here in the North Bay and I dreaded the drive back up to Windsor after the run. I did get the Pooper washed and preped for Las Veags.

Thanks so much for organizing! The run was nice and fast and curvy. Me and Minipenny are very happy now. Lunch was yummy, too. Looking forward to more events.

Great run today guys! We had fun. Our 2nd adopted MINI did well too. I was sorry to have to give him back. He really needed to get out. Thank you Dave for all the MINI goodies! Looking foward to #5 and welcome to the group Singkat!
