I have been thinking a lot about the 2005 driving season lately. I know I will do the three endurance rallies again and Ann and I are going to Olympia for MG2005. There are still a lot weekends for rallies, tours, and other events.

I am planning a two day wine and cheese tour through southwestern Wisconsin. I think it will be close enough that those who can only do one day can join us for part of the trip. There are lots of wineries, breweries, and cheese factories near us, so maybe this will be the beginning of an annual event.

There is a planning session for the 2005 driving season in February. We are looking for ideas and people who have an interest in writing a rally. If you have found any special MG roads, we would like to see you there. If you have never written a rally, you are welcome. It would be nice to team up veteran rally writers with new faces, so we would like to see both groups at the meeting.

Let us know at the January meeting if you can join us! We are always looking for ideas to make the most of the driving season.

See you on the road!
