    Sorry, I was not paying attention ...again.

    I posted this event on the okMini site.

    okMINI.com

    We won't make this one, we have a mountain bike race that weekend in Stillwater OK.

    thanks!

    Thanks Tick for linking us up with the ok club, we didn't have the info until you came to our rescue. East Texas Mini Coopers really hopes to link up not only with the Dallas/Houston clubs, but also Ok and Ark clubs too!

    Looks like we have a conflict that weekend. Our outdoor club is having a campout at Beavers Bend that we had commited to. We won't be too far down the road from y'all. Hope you have a good trip and still looking forward to meeting everyone sometime.

    I was wondering if there will be any fast driving on sat.?I like to see scenery when its real blurry!The reason i ask is i will be going to church on sunday and dont want to miss any good driving.You know me im only in it for the spirited runs.

    going up probably will be fast since it is all empty lands. then at lunch we probably will take a poll on who is scenic, who is fast, and let the fast ones go first, meeting at the next pulloff/site. i will be in the back for filming/wife's car sickness reasons, you would be welcome to lead the fast group. bear in mind there was one patrol car on the 54 miles. and there are slow tourists, few passing lanes. but the pullovers do help us in losing slow tourists.

    Wish we were going! My wife and I have committed to Beavers Bend with friends this weekend......and I will not even get to take the Mini. We will be toting bikes and boats so will have to take the truck. Hope y'all have a great time. Post some pics afterward.
