OK, so last year’s Run was rainy and windy; but if you were there, you received a special merit badge from Past President Bob Stine for surviving the journey! This year I predict sunny breezy weather. Melissa Johnson and I will lead you on a wonderful winding and hilly tour route just made for MGs. Cecil Kimber, whose birthday was 120 years ago on April 12 would be proud to be part of this adventure. Melissa and I are spoiled as this tour begins right near our home. It’s one of those 90-minute weekend drives you can take a few times a year when the sun is out and the mood strikes for a wonderful but challenging spin in the MG. The fun begins at about 10:45 am. After some coffee and donuts (or bagels) and a quick driver’s meeting, we will award a prize to one lucky participant of our tour before we head out. What is it, you ask? How can I win it, you wonder? Come on the tour and find out. We will leave our home in San Leandro at 11 am and head through the Berkeley hills by way of Skyline Drive and Grizzly Peak Blvd., stopping at a vista point which I believe is truly the most panoramic view of the entire Bay Area bar none (including that view from the Marin Headlands). On a clear day you can see four bridges which cross the Bay. When we reach the top of Marin Avenue, we will go down the steep long hill (Make sure your brakes are in good shape!) and go over to Solano Avenue for lunch at Zachary’s Chicago Pizza, which offers arguably the best deep dish pizza in the country. It is usually crowded, but not to worry. Solano Avenue is full of many marvelous restaurants of almost any ethnic cuisine imaginable, should you not wish pizza. The tour will officially end there, but for those wishing further fun, the Berkeley Marina is close by. If you have any questions, call us at 510-483-3171. We hope you will join us. It will be a tour to remember. When and Where: Meet 10:30 am at 874 Rodney Drive in San Leandro. | ||

Valve Cover Racer Tech Session
Sunday, April 27
There it goes! It’s a…speeding MG valve cover? And look at that,it’s lost some parts along the way (actually that’s a winning strategy).

Come on out to this tech session and build your very own British speedster.
Valve covers and parts will be available for a modest fee.
When and Where: Meet 2 pm at 115 Pinehurst Way in San Francisco.

This is always a big show and a lot of fun. The United british Sports car Club (UBSCC) does a great job putting this on every year. They have moved to a new location that is bigger and nicer than Dixon. It is about 20 miles further from the Bay Area.
