pics and links from MTTS Boulder & ABQ Rallys.

It was a very nice street party, well attended and good Boulder Beer!

Boulder R&S was fun, good rally many went off to parts unknown. We had a real Monsoon when we reached ABQ, I25 and sideways sheets of rain did not make for fun driving.

The ABQ party was fun, ABQ R&S Party/Rally was a fine party with a great sendoff.

Some pictures here.

The last picture is ABQ, the first pics are Boulder of course. :biggrin5:

Check out the albums and enjoy. If you see yourself, tell me.

Thankfully a cooler July day in Illinois for the Chicago stop of the tour. Drove a MCSc on the autocross, in line now for some pretty rapid go carts. Pretty large crowd already at 2pm or so.

 

Had a nice day on (and off) the MTTS tour of Iowa. We'd stayed in Joliet overnight after the race track events, no finding it compelling to drive
another hour plus into downtown Chicago just to leave from Soldier Field en masse, so: we didn't.

Instead, we left Joliet trying to time it to hit Galena IL about the same time as the rest of the participants. And, we seemed to, connecting with a group of MINIs just east of Galena and making good time all the way to Dubuque. I did spot an enthusiastic group of MINIs and owners at The View motel east of Galena, and I stopped in Dubuque when my group did to say hello. Was a nice couple in a CM from NJ, and the lead car? Their daughter, pretty cool, and a smooth, quick driver. Fun times and nice scenery!

We split off a bit, to work in a visit to our favorite GSD kennel in Grinnell, as we were passing right thru. Then on to Des Moines, check in, and a nice catered BBQ event at the Blank Zoo a few miles away. Far less crowded than Joliet, it was easy to mix, mingle, and converse.

Off to the pancake breakfast...

 

I will be adding some pictures and commentary for Boulder to Albuquerque as time permits, maybe Friday PM with the MINI5280 group.

My young son and I spent the day in beautiful Glenwood Springs (left Los Angeles Monday). Leaving for Boulder in the am to join the arriving group. as much as I like MTTS, I can't wait to get back here in Aug for MITM!

 

Thanks for sharing
