Get Ready for the Ultimate Fall Color Adventure!
The leaves are turning, the air is getting crisp, and some of the best driving roads of the year are calling your name. It's time for our final official club drive of the season, a spectacular Fall Color Rally to Tomah, Wisconsin!
Picture winding Miata-friendly roads, rolling hills painted in brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold, and a weekend spent with great friends who share your passion for driving. If Mother Nature cooperates, we'll be cruising through some of the most breathtaking scenery Wisconsin has to offer.
This is the last planned Fall Color event to Tomah. Katie and I will not be hosting this Tomah drive in the future so if you have not been on this drive before, this is your last chance to enjoy it. This is really a great drive. The route features everything Miata owners love: twisty back roads, beautiful countryside, fantastic fall scenery, and plenty of smiles per mile. Prefer to take things at a more relaxed pace? No problem. A Touring Group will be available, so everyone can enjoy the weekend their way.
Date and Time: Saturday and Sunday, October 10-11, 2026, Arrive no later than 8:30am.
The Start: Point Douglas Holiday Station (12370 Point Douglas Drive S, Hastings). See the Google Map link below. Drivers' Meeting will be at 8:45am and the lead group will depart at 9:00am. We’ll wind through Wisconsin’s charming back roads all the way to Tomah. Expect plenty of twists and turns—so if you prefer a more relaxed pace, be sure to sign up for the Touring Group when you register. It's a 2 hour drive to our break in Durand at Kwik Trip, so use the restrooms at the Holiday station before we leave.
