WRAPUP: we had over 50 MINIs attending from CMMC, MilwaukeeMINIs and Minis In Northern Illinois clubs.  It was a very chilly spring day, but the predicted rain held off for the drive.  We also had many new people out for their first club drive.  A very fun ride thru Wisconsin backroads, ending with a stop at the famous Brat Stop.
