WRAPUP:

The afternoon started wet but everything dried out before we departed. We had 9 MINIs out for the drive, which is a nice size to keep everyone together. There were a couple first timers and the rest have been on prior drives. A fun cruise thru North Aurora and Sugar Grove back roads and a stop for some yummy Ice Cream.

Thanks to Mark H. for creating the rallista routing and to everyone who came out for the drive!

Wrapup: Beautiful weather made for a great event.. We had 22 MINIs in attendance including many long-timers and a few first-timers from as far north as Milwaukee, South-west from Morris, and Mr. RCH drove in from Philadelphia PA.

We took a nice wandering drive up Sheridan Road for an ending with a late lunch at Mia’s Diner in North Chicago.

A large pothole on Edens injured a couple cars on the way to the event, but MINI of Glencoe North Shore was able to get Tom’s tire replaced in time for him to meet us at the ending location.

Huge thanks to MINI of Glencoe for hosting the starting location and Mia’s Pancake house for our lunch stop.

Just a super casual Saturday afternoon MINI get-together for a short drive on one of the North Shore’s nicest roads ending with a stop for a late lunch in North Chicago

Join us on our Second annual weekend drive on a multi-club event exploring some of Wisconsin’s funnest roads

WRAPUP: Another fantastic trip!! 26 or so MINIs (and one classic Mini) participated.. It was a pretty even mix of people from Chicagoland, Milwaukee, and Madison areas. The weather was a bit cold and drizzly at times, but we didnt have actual rain during our drives. A Friday night dinner cruise was a great warmup for the Saturday main event.. the roads were fantastic, the traffic was light and the pace was good. Sunday morning was a photo op and a breakfast drive.
Huge thanks to Scott and Sandy P. for all the event planning, stickers, and routing, and big thanks to Mark H. for Rallista routing and QR codes.
