Wrapup: Beautiful weather made for a great event.. We had 22 MINIs in attendance including many long-timers and a few first-timers from as far north as Milwaukee, South-west from Morris, and Mr. RCH drove in from Philadelphia PA.

We took a nice wandering drive up Sheridan Road for an ending with a late lunch at Mia’s Diner in North Chicago.

A large pothole on Edens injured a couple cars on the way to the event, but MINI of Glencoe North Shore was able to get Tom’s tire replaced in time for him to meet us at the ending location.

Huge thanks to MINI of Glencoe for hosting the starting location and Mia’s Pancake house for our lunch stop.

Just a super casual Saturday afternoon MINI get-together for a short drive on one of the North Shore’s nicest roads ending with a stop for a late lunch in North Chicago
