Return To Photo Gallery Main Backroads to Bavaria IX October 6 to 8, 2006 Tour Leader: Jim This is an annual weekend event staged by our friends from Club Miata Northwest in the Bavarian village of Leavenworth, Washington. The event attracted over 100 cars and a large group of Australian Miata Club members. Seven Miatas from the OVMC made the journey down on Friday and discovered some great new backroads along the way. Backroads To Bavaria included some great tours through the beautiful Cascade area, a poker run, banquet, and lots of time to explore Leavenworth during the Octoberfest weekend. Also part of the weekend was a Show 'n Shine that resulted in awards to OVMC members Steve and Christine Berry, and Gord and Patrice Bazzana. Our members made the trek home Sunday morning and took a side-trip to the old-west town of Winthrop for lunch.
