Hey All, We are introducing a new run this year. As some of you may know Art White is one of our members and also a member of the local Miata club. He has been asking if we could get the two clubs together for a run. We are calling this the M&M Run, it will be lead exclusively by Art & Nancy. I am hoping for a great turn out. Please RSVP so that I can make sure Art has the numbers for the event. Meeting / Starting Location: Starbucks; 779 Herndon Ave at Clovis Ave (Tuscan Plaza Center) We will depart at 9:00AM SHARP! We will take a ride through the hills, with lunch and ice cream stops, fishing in Bass Lake area. Please have car gassed and ready to roll at 9 am. "This run will combine the San Joaquin Valley Miata Club and the MidCal MINIs, the best two little sport cars on the road, for a fun day of winding roads. Come join us!" ART Thanks and hope to see you soon! Tina MINI EOR

Tina, I would love to go, but have a mid-afternoon commitment. I was at Huntington Lake on Thurs., and the temp was 72 degrees !!! Everyone have a great time ! There are still many patches of snow on the ground. Fred
Jim the run is still at 9:00 yes. I only have two people sighned up to go. I might not be able to make it either. Asking Zoie to be happy in a car seat for that long is A LOT to ask. I didn't realize it would be a 2 1/2 hours one way.
Great time today! Art thanks for letting us tag along for awhile :cornut: Think I counted 6 Minis and 9 Miatas. Me and Janet brought both ours, Rob, Art drove his Mini, Josh and his girlfriend came Then we met Kathleen for the first time, hope she comes to meeting next weekend. We may have to incorporate this "abbreviated" run into our run index
