March Rally??

[SmartJoeMN]

SO what are the final details for the event?

Start time, meeting place etc?

Sounds like it might be a small group, or not, but here is whatI had in mind:

Meet at Bloomington Smartcenter around 11:00(AM)

Head over to Fudruckers around 11:45

After eating, BS'ing and some photos in the back lot (like last year,) Head up to the lakes for a cruise

Depart around 1:30 (?)

finish up on the north end of Lake Calhoun (??) I'm guessing around 3 or so.

Route:

Bloomington Smartcenter to Fudruckers,

Turn south to 82nd, left to 35W, north to 494, west to France Ave, North to Fudruckers, park in the side(east) side of the lot.

Fudruckers to Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet;

494(west) to 100 North, Exit on Excelsior blvd (east) to Lake Calhoun. South on west side, then south on west side of Lake Harriet, around to east side and then North.

Pretty loose planning but that makes it flexable. If it rains, I'll still be there. Open to suggestions. Remember, I live in Red Wing, about 55 miles southeast of the dealership. My sister has offered to be navigator and she lives a few blocks from the dealership. So I am winging these routes. I'll try to have some maps on hand.

It should be a fun time for you guys. Did you tell Smart Center your coming?

[SmartJoeMN]

Wish I could be there! Hope you guys get a good turnout!

I thought we'd just suprise them.... I talked with them about it a few weeks ago, I was going to call them ths week and remind them but I always remember after 5:30. Been busy at work ya know... Thanks for the reminder!


Just talked to Jason at the dealership, he said donuts and OJ will be ready for us!!!

[jimvw57]

weather forecast still looks good, zero precipitation and mid 40's temp. with partly cloudy skies. Good driving weather!!

We are coming with 1 car for sure. 2 maybe. It is supposed to be nasty weather overnight here, so it depends what it is like when we wake up as to whether the 2nd car goes, as my relatively inexperienced teenage daughter will be driving the other car....We'll see ya there either way!
