2023/04/01 April Fool’s Day MINI Rallye/Motor-In

[Mary Hopton]

Join fellow MINIacs for the Rallye @ 1:00 p.m.  Rallye starts at the lot next to Frisch’s Big Boy located at 663 Service Road, Loveland, OH 45140 at the Wards Corner Exit #54 off I-275. You may want to gas up at the UDF next door before the rallye begins.

Bring your clipboard if you want to try the fill-in-the-blank “quiz rallye” or you can drive as a “fun rallye” with only directions to follow. This Dale Ballinger created contest is a fantastic chance to show off your skills. The rallye takes you through 2 covered bridges, TWICE.  The rallye takes about 100 minutes and is under 50 miles.  The rallye ends at Padrino “Italian Job Grille” about 3:45 p.m. If the rallye isn’t your thing, come join us for the motor-in at 4 p.m. 

Padrino is located at 111 Main Street, Milford, OH 45150, 513.965.1000.  Menu can be found at www.padrinoitalian.com. Ask for the Queen City Cooper room.  We have until 5ish for whining and dining. Hope to see y’all “down the road.”

Not sure if we need to sign up but I plan to attend this one.

One question tho. What is Rallye and what is the quiz portion?

[Mary Hopton]

If you plan on going, please sign up.  It helps us know who to expect in case you are running late.  A Rallye  is another term for an organized event with a planned route.  The “quiz rallye” is simply answering observation questions while driving, so it’s best to have a co-pilot; whereas, the “fun rallye” is just enjoying the drive.  Hope to see you there!
