Sorry...I held up Chuck and Barbara the first time and will NEVER, EVER do that again. I ruined his day and we got there as everyone was leaving. By the time we got our donuts, everyone had left. It's ok...I prefer to drive alone in the future and on my own drives...no hassles that way and no more frustrated friends.

 

Jeff just leave a little earlier and we will meet you at the donut shop.

Do worry about us we will catch up.

 

I was on my way home, anyway. Chuck got me onto 129 after the donut fiasco and went back to Fontana while I went back to Ohio. This was the last time for the R50 at MOTD.

It's not a matter of leaving early so people can catch up. You go to have fun and to "drive it like ya stole it". My Cooper with its cvt just can not do that...and it didn't, thus holding up Chuck [who was nice enough to hang back so I wouldn't get completely lost].

Since then, I have brought my R53 down, but this will be the last time for it, too.

 

hhhmmm I usually one of the last to leave a party and I'm always having fun while I'm there. :cornut:

 

I promise I'll be there this year. I do love me some donuts!

Besides, with this cast of characters, who could pass THAT up?

 

Just make sure you tell him to not try and keep up because he cant and it will end badly. :devil::lol:

 

Cool ^^^

Next years shirt needs to be a Starbucks theme.

 

So for anyone planning on going to Outmotoring after the Donut Run the Devil's Triangle route is real close. Devil's Triangle/

I'm planning on doing that run after Outmotoring if anyone else would like to go.

 

Sounds like fun, I didnt get to run the triangle on the way in with the rest of the Colorado peeps last year...

As long as you have room for a Porker, it sounds tempting!

 

I'm game for a triangle run.

 

Triangle run, :idea: sure why not. After all on Friday the Dragon is like a school zone. :mad2:

 

I'll print up some maps and bring them along.

 

Maps? we don't need no stinking maps. :lol:

 

Can't see why not.

I'll likely be riding solo, so what I do is up to me and only me. :cornut:

 

If you were in the lead pack last year and with the first six cars you were is a small group running at high speed. :ihih::devil:

It was early in the morning and we had NO Traffic or LEOs at all.
(Hellbender to Dragon to Foothills Parkway wide open)

 

I'm not sure if my 6-piston brakes can handle all that speed.

 

The only runs I'm planning on participating in are the Donut run, and Blimey's Run of Terror. I have no plans to participate in a centipede parade of the Dragon.

I'm making this trip an excuse to see some family in the area, so I'll have other things to do (they live 20 minutes from the base of the dragon).

I do look forward to finally meeting y'all, though. Where will everyone be hanging out on the evenings?

 

Fontana Village for the most part, even though some of us gave cabins elsewhere... Wherever Daves cabin is, and the Stonehenge fire pit are the hot spots at night.

Your ride schedule sounds like mine... Wide open for whatever we can do wide open! Thats the best way to do any MINI event in my opinion. There is so much to see in the area once you break free from the groups and get out on your own.
