Mark your calendars for the Srping Rallye Saturday May 31st.

We will meet at 10:00, leave by 10:30 and end for lunch around Noon.

We will start at I-55 and Highway M, and end in Festus. Here is a link to the route I have planned:

Meet in the Walgreens Parking lot at Hwy M and Catlin Dr (just west of 55).
Address for your GPS:
1718 Catlin Road
Barnhart, MO 63012
There is a gas station across the street for coffee.

The route is about 50 miles, should take about a hour and a half, and we will end at Fortel's Pizza Den in Festus (which is at Hwy 55 and A)

The weather looks to be pretty good, so come join us for a great drive.

 

I'm hoping that my MC comes in on that Thursday. If it does I will be there, if not I'll catch you guys next time.

 

Mr Sun is all shined up and ready to go.

I am also bringing a guest with me - He will be driving "Wink" (06MCC PW/PW) and will be bringing his pretty navigator!!!

Marty/Deb and Mr Sun

 

We're planning to be there Hope it's sunny because Sunnie needs to stretch her legs

I'll try and make it.

 

I wish I could go but I have already planned my birthday BBQ that day and I know my mother is wanting me to help prepare before it starts. So if you all are done early enough you are welcome to stop by for the BBQ. The food is being served at 3. I don't know if you'll be done by then or not, but I figured I'd invite you all anyway.

 

I'm 95% there (the last 5% will depend on that morning's caffeine intake).

 

There are 2 gas stations at the starting point, so caffeine will be readily available.

 

We're hoping work events cooperate so we can be there.

 

We're hoping children and gas prices cooperate -- if gas prices don't cooperate we'll be there on our bicycles

 

I have yet to see if I can make it down. My MINI was rear ended last weekend and will in the shop this week. It's suppose to be done on Friday, but to make it down in time it has to be done early... So maybe I'll make it down. I hope so.

I am not a mini member but would like to go to this rally and meet some mini people. Is that OK? This sounds like fun!
Thanks.
Marlene

 

Come on and join us. You are more than welcome. Meet everyone and have a good time.

 

Where are we meeting to start the Rally? I know it is at I55-M but where exactly - the Fuel center???

 

The original post has been updated with more information

 

Those are excellent roads, I live right near there and might meet up with you fro a while. Good route choice

 

Pretty sure we'll be there. Dan

 

planning on it.

cheers,
Mike

 

It's going to take some pretty tight time management on my part. The MINI needs a wash and I don't have time to do it tonight. So, it's up early tomorrow, wash the car (at least 30 minutes, probably more like an hour), wash myself, then a 45 minute drive. I'll do my very best to get there by 10:00.

I'm not a club member, I just got my MINI back in March. Hope that's not a problem.

 

I was out in Wentzville last night and the bonnet/windshield are full of bugs. I promise they'll still be there tomorrow.

 

bah, skip your shower, we don't care--- just make the car shine

I washed mine tonight right before the rain. now if only I hadn't caught a chip in my windshield last week, he'd look perfect. Sigh. Getting that replaced next Saturday.

 

OK, car's washed...halfway there

 

What a great day to go toplessWe had a great time Nice to see so many new folks
