| Robert Burr will host the next Redland Riot Road Rallye, a mad-capped adventure for treasure on Saturday, January 9. This is a free event for car enthusiasts, tropical fruit lovers, history buffs and anyone who enjoys a leisurely drive through rural South Miami-Dade County -- Miami's Bountiful Countryside.
We gather at Cauley Square at 11am; the road rallye starts at noon. Print your own free map of the route with driving directions. We'll provide each car with a set of instructions and questions to answer. Any car, truck, motorcycle, or street-legal vehicle can participate.
This rallye is not a race. The route is planned -- each stop is of historical interest. Instead of cryptic instructions our crew have prepared a series of questions to be answered along the way, some to be found on signs at the scheduled stops, others between them. The winner will be the one with the most correct answers.
Rallye participants are encouraged to enjoy the stops along the way and collect some delicious goodies, including fresh produce, exotic fruits and home-made delicacies. Bring along some cash for hot sticky buns right out of the oven, delicious tropical fruit milkshakes, award-winning orchids, tropical fruit wine, fresh ripe strawberries, etc.
At 5pm, at the final stop (the Redland Hotel), we'll gather all the answers and give away a prize to those that successfully complete the rallye and answer the most questions correctly.
All participants are invited to enjoy dinner at their own expense after the rallye at the the Redland Steak House, located in the Redland Hotel. Call 305-246-1904 for reservations.
