Run Details
Join us for a fun-filled day of scenic driving and great company! Our adventure begins at Almaden Oaks Plaza, where we’ll kick off the morning with some delicious donuts and camaraderie!
From there, we'll set out on a picturesque drive to Mount Umunhum, offering stunning panoramic views perfect for photo opportunities. The hike from the parking lot to the Mt Umunhum Ceremonial Circle peak will take the entire duration of our pit stop, so if you plan on hiking up to it, make sure you start the trek immediately after parking!
Next, we will take the back roads up to Mount Madonna to Gizdich Ranch, a charming spot renowned for its fresh pies, jams, antiques, and more. Take your time exploring the farm, sampling tasty treats, and browsing unique finds but keep in mind the line purchase pie is long, so don’t get left behind while waiting in line!
Finally, we'll head over to Royal Oak Park for our Annual Meeting and Picnic. Enjoy good food, great conversations, and the company of fellow MINI enthusiasts in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Come join us for a day of scenic drives, delicious food, and community fun!
