About this event
North Star BMW Car Club of America
Road Trip Series 2016
There's no better way to enjoy your "Ultimate Driving Machine" than to get out on the road. It's even better when you venture out with fellow club members. Summers in Minnesota are brief. Make plans to hit the road and join in the fun!
Viking Quest to Alex - Saturday, August 6, 2016 at 10:00 a.m.
We are headed to Alexandria to investigate the legend of the Kensington Rune Stone. Did Vikings really visit Minnesota in 1392? "Big Ole" the Viking awaits our arrival. Make it a day trip or an overnighter, your choice. There is a lot to see in the area. Shopping in the downtown, good restaurants and lots of watering holes (Raapers Eatery and Ale - www.raapers.com). Viking Speedway even has auto races scheduled Saturday night if we're interested (vikingspeedway.net).
Ride departs from the Maple Grove Target Store parking lot at 10:00 a.m. The address is 15300 Grove Circle N. Please plan to arrive by 9:45 a.m. with your gas tank full. We'll have a round of introductions, review the route and hit the road.
When you register, be sure to add your passengers too so we know how large our group will be. Also, if you are interested in staying overnight, please email me at tours@northstarbmw.org so we can coordinate hotel reservations.
