Downtown Lake Shore Drive (06/08)
WRAPUP: The sunny weather held out just long enough to last the morning drive. A group of 9 MINIs headed down Sheridan Road and Lake Shore drive to meet up with another 10 MINIs at the official starting location. A fun drive through some nice urban roads.. A few groups of MINIs got a bit lost, crossed paths a few times and eventually joined together and found the right way to the end. Several people stayed for breakfast and visting afterwards!!
As usual, send links of photos to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will put them here to share.

Portillos Summer Meetup
Not an official Club event, but a number of people will be meeting up at the Portillos in Schaumburg on the first Wednesday of each month in the summertime. This is a great chance to hang around for an evening, kick tires, have some good food, and socialize with MINI friends.
Raceway Woods 5/24
Wrapup: Great weather, fun drive, good eats, and a cool destination!! We had a dozen MINIs and a bunch of dogs take a short trip out to Raceway Woods. There was one long pause for a slow moving freight train where we had a chance to pull over, take pictures and chat before the road opened up again. Burgers, brats, and side dishes were the food of the day, and people had a chance to explore the remnants of a very cool race track.
