Min-ees to Buc-ee's Tour de Donut, Sunday, 04/07/2024

Post by ragtopday Johnna »

Let's drive to Springfield to visit Buc-ee's and have a whole bunch of donuts along the way!
tour de donut 2024.jpg
Sunday, April 7th, 2024, 7:30 am start, return to KC approximately 5-6 PM.

Starting point is Big Daddy's Donuts in BELTON, 801 E. North Avenue. Gather between 7-8 for a prompt 8am departure.

We will visit three locally-owned donut shops plus Buc-ees, where we will meet up with the 417 MINI Club. We will spend a couple of hours at Buc-ees before heading back to KC. This is a 300+ mile drive.

RSVP by April 2nd. It's super important to know how many cars and how many people so I can let the donut shops know how many of us to expect. These are small businesses who greatly appreciate us. We can also easily overwhelm them and they like to make sure they have enough donuts for us. The donut selection may be a curated collection by the donut shop owners featuring their favorites.

MINI SE friends: While this route isn't SE-friendly, you are welcome to come along in any car. Or if you'd like help finding someone to tag along with, I can help with that, too. Lots of friendly folks in our club who would happily make room for you!

RSVPs as of April 3rd: 28 or 29 MINIs and Minis, 52 or 54 people

MichaelC-

The second donut shop is 54 miles from the start point. The third donut shop is 92 miles from the second. Does that help a bit?

Not really--I was just curious about scoping out chargers along the route or even alternate routes to see if I could reach those destinations with my SE..even though that is not recommended. :wink:

If the route/destinations are meant to be a surprise or "for participants only", that's fine. 8)

I have room for one more. If the weather is pleasant, I’ll likely drive with the top down.
