What a fantastic run, beautiful clear sunny weather, smooth twisy roads, little to no traffic, lots of fun and GREAT people. We had a total of 42 Minis, thanks to everyone that came out.

When I heard the comment over the radio about how much we looked like a bowl of "Skittles:, I howled. That's a real "visual". And when some missed that turn and several went the wrong way, someone announced that we had "spilled some Skittles". We sure looked like a bowl full of colorful Skittles.

The day was filled with clear blue skies and smiling faces, new and old. Thanks to Howard & Peter for mapping and planning, Hans & Talene for leading, Leeta for being such a great caboose, Jim Ireland for the run booklets, and everyone that helped make this such a fun day.

Thanks also to Hoopi and everyone for all the great photos.

See some of you this Saturday (May 10) for the Shasta-Lewiston Run (All are welcome) and the 17th for Mini Mania's Open House (Nevada City Adventure) and the Woodland All British Car Show on Sunday (May 18).

For now, Keep the rubber side down.
