April “East Meets West” Spring Drive Saturday, April 15

On April 15, the Iowa Chapter of BMW CCA and the Iowa Zoomin’ Z’s will co-host a fun spring drive.

The East group will meet at 9:15 at Fleet Farm Store in Cedar Rapids (4650 Cross Point Blvd NE), have a short drivers meeting and hit the road at 9:45 for a 2 hour drive on the back roads of eastern Iowa, meeting the West group for lunch at Legends American Grill in Marshalltown (2902 South Center St). Following lunch, we will take another scenic 2-hour drive back to Cedar Rapids.

The West group will meet at 9:00 at BMW of Des Moines (9631 Hickman Rd, Urbandale) to start an adventurous drive to our lunch rendezvous with the East group in Marshalltown. The round-trip drive will take roads most of us have never been on.

The East group is led by Warren Byerly (319-360-7567, warrenbyerly1@gmail.com) and the West group by Chip Nelson (515-822-1627, info@LetsPackage.com). Be sure to sign up today for the drive with either sponsoring group.

You can make the check-in process a bit easier on event day too – complete your liability waivers ahead of time at https://ews.bmwcca.org/sign/01gt7mnve9dqgwbe86vsgryj93. This is an online system that BMW CCA provides for chapter use. It will have both adult and minor waivers.
