Sheridan Road Run September 24th

August and September have been busy months for MINI activities, so we will be doing a very low key casual drive along some of the North Shore’s nicest roads.

Sheridan Road

WHEN: Sunday September 24th Rain or Shine. Lets plan to leave about 9:00am
WHERE: Start east of Lake Shore Drive at the Montrose Harbor area exit.

Not really sure what the parking situation is down there, but how hard can it be to find a bunch of MINIs on a Sunday morning? We will shoot for meeting in this parking lot if possible.

We will take a brief re-group/rest/coffee stop at Plaza Del Lago in Wilmette, and finish at the Full Moon Cafe in Lake Bluff for food or just hanging out with the Sunday morning North Shore motorcycle crowd.

WHO: This drive is open to anyone who wants to take an easy drive up some fun roads.

We will not be putting together route sheets for this drive, but we usually have several people with FRS radios, and we will try to all stick together and buddy up people who are not familiar with the roads.

Post up if you are interested, so we have an idea of how many people will attend.

Hope to see you there!!

Count me in. I will go to church after, maybe?

Steve Sep 9th, 2006 Link

Dustin Sep 9th, 2006 Link

Sounds good to me, Karen and I will see you there.
Wish we had a 9am start time. Opps did I say that? LOL

Steve Sep 9th, 2006 Link

If most people prefer a later start we could do that..

I though earlier to avoid traffic would be better.

Sarah Sep 9th, 2006 Link

I will be there!

Dustin Sep 9th, 2006 Link

TIME TO VOTE.

Steve is asking us to let me know what time to start the drive. Please VOTE for 9am or 8am.

Paul L Sep 9th, 2006 Link

Rose Sep 10th, 2006 Link

Can I meet up with you all at the Plaza del Lago, in Wilmette? Prior commitment earlier. Timewise, when do you think you’ll all arrive? I vote for 9:oo am, if I could be there that early.

The Seeker Sep 10th, 2006 Link

marco Sep 13th, 2006 Link

Taylor Sep 13th, 2006 Link

I’m afraid to go since I owe Conrad stuff and he is going to hurt me.

I might sneak in a quick drive before I have Noon football with my son.

Dustin Sep 14th, 2006 Link

Now Taylor, we all know you like handcuffs. LOL ;)

Chris Sep 14th, 2006 Link

Lori and I will be there!

The Seeker Sep 15th, 2006 Link

Taylor, I would never hurt you. Where have you heard that before ? By the way how is the stuff progressing …

9AM………don’t you people believe in sleeping in?
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!!!!

Dustin Sep 17th, 2006 Link

Debi,

We had to lobby for 9am, Steve wanted 8am, maybe we should do a 9am and 10am for you and I. LOL

See at 9am.

Dustin Sep 18th, 2006 Link

Steve, will there be a more detailed “meeting” spot, other then, “WHERE: Start east of Lake Shore Drive at the Montrose Harbor area exit.” We could have MINI’s all over the “area”. Can you nail it down for us?

Thanks Dustin

Steve Sep 18th, 2006 Link

I am not really familiar with the area, and don’t know how crowded it will be at 9:00 ;-)

Why don’t we try for in or near this Parking lot if we can

Francis (MiniMac2005) Sep 19th, 2006 Link

Good idea Steve! That’s easy to get to and big enough for a few MINIs. I’ll probably leave home early so I can cruise LSD for a bit before the run!

mataku527 Sep 19th, 2006 Link

hm.. what time do we plan to reach plaza del lago, I might leave afterwards to catch the bears game and such.

Richard Sep 20th, 2006 Link

After you exit LSD and go east there is a parking lot on the left that large enough for us to meet. see you there on Saturday @9:00 am.

Gabe Sep 20th, 2006 Link

9am is fine with me…. we should start at 8am so we can cruise by Gabe’s and wake him up :p

Whoa… thats not cool! Actually I’m going to try to make this one.

Francis (MiniMac2005) Sep 20th, 2006 Link

Whoa… thats not cool! Actually I’m going to try to make this one.

he he he… just checking to see if you were paying attention :)

We’ll see you Sunday (rain or shine?)

Taylor Sep 20th, 2006 Link

Conrad,

I promise I will get you what I owe you tomorrow — and then we can be friends again. :)

Cliff Sep 22nd, 2006 Link

I’d love to attend, but my car is still in shop, drying out from flood. Maybe next time.

Don Sep 23rd, 2006 Link

Count me in. 9am rain or shine.

Dustin Sep 23rd, 2006 Link

Bummer, Cliff, what happen?

marco Sep 23rd, 2006 Link
