Austin TX Fun Run - Nov. 10

***Correction. The drive is Sat. Nov 10. I had the right day but wrong Date.***

Looks like the weather will be great for a Hill Country Drive this weekend. My calender is cleared for many miles. I have a few local people ready to go. Thought there would be a few other's that might join in the fun.

Meeting place: We will meet at 8AM at the Starbucks at the corner of HWY 71/290 and Brodie lane in South Austin. The address is:


Starbucks, 5400 Brodie Ln Sunset Valley, TX 78745
A map can be found here.

http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps2.py?Pyt=Typ&name=Starbucks&desc=(512)+891-9173&addr=5400+Brodie+Ln+%23+930&csz=Sunset+Valley+TX

I plan to leave for the drive at 9am sharp. Any later and we risk traffic on the backroads getting out of town. This gives people an hour to gas up, fuel up with coffee and have lots of photos and B.S. If you eat such things, They have muffins and such at Starbucks and there will be other breakfast options close by.

Our planned route has two options. Both have a route that heads out to Boerne, TX and returns on the South side of Canyon lake. This will follow the Guadalupe river into New Braunfels to the WurstFest. We will arrive at WurstFest around 1pm and have lunch there.

Here is the question... How many would rather skip the WurstFest and continue from Boerne down through the Bandera Region for what many claim to be the best roads in TX. This route would take most of the day to complete making us skip WurstFest. This means we would find a lunch option on the road. I will be trying out some new roads and the route could take longer than expected. We could meet for a beer/dinner on our return to Austin for more Bench Racing.

Please let me know in advance if you plan to join in. Hope to see you there.

Jamie,
I'd love to join you guys, but as you know, my car is not exactly operational right now . I've been meaning to contact you about the parts. It looks like you'll be busy on Sunday, so perhaps Saturday I could swing by?

Frank

So I just noticed that the calender date is wrong.

The drive is Saturday Nov. 10th

Frank,

I have your parts sitting here waiting. Let me know when you want to pick them up. They are boxed up sitting in the same corner of the garage. Did you get your M3 fixed?
