March's meet: weather was even better! Turnout was a little smaller.

I've been meaning to recap the last few months of the clubs activities. Now that's turned into recapping the last SIX months! Sorry, too many different forums and too little time.

April was a meet @ Virginia International Raceway, always one of our favorite gatherings.

May had us back at the local dealership.

We finally got a hold of a HUGE Mazda flag for the club to collect signatures on.

Last month we were back @ Virginia International Raceway and got to hang out with Eric Meyer and his XOWii race team. What a great group of people that like to hang with other Mazda fans.

This month is our annual trip to Deals Gap, BOTD.

See if you can get up with Kane and Jon. I believe you all could have a fun convoy up.

Do you guys plan on having any meets later in the summer? I'll be back from AFG in July and would be more than happy to make the trip down from Alexandria.

Also, if ya'll want to do a meet in Charlottesville I know some really nice/fun roads in/around Albemarle County (followed by a STELLAR brewery/restaurant in Afton).

WE3RX7 · 06-02-2011, 07:01 PM

We know of those roads too and the aforementioned brewery. We've been there a few times during our meets, lol. There should be some meets coming up this summer.

I'm betting he's talking about Blue Mountain Brewery? We've found the Devil's Backbone Brewery on many of our trips around C'Ville, but we've yet to make Blue Mountains. I'm all about a trip to consume some Evil 8!.

Fendamonky · 06-03-2011, 06:10 AM

I most certainly AM talking about Blue Mountain Brewery

That place is PHENOMINAL!!! It also helps that my sister is dating the manager

I've heard of Devils Backbone, and almost gone on a couple occasions (they stay open a bit later than Blue Mountain) but I've never gotten around to going there. Def a gorgeous area no matter which bar you hit though!

Oh, and Evil 8 is good, Rockfish Wheat is better, and Dark Hollow COMPLETELY owns! lol. Hell, I had a couple bottles of the Dark Hollow mailed out to me when I was living in England, even the brits agree that that stuff is the Dogs Bollocks (fucking awesome!)

We've gone there on the way to / from meets before... only did the sampler though...

VR8 · 06-06-2011, 05:34 AM

I threw out a feeler on the Facebook page for the 18th. Even mentioned BMB in Afton. Not a lot of response yet but we'll see.

The sampler is good. I'd def want to be there for an hour or two if I were to have anything more than that though. Granted, I'm pretty firmly against drinking and driving, and there is NO WAY IN HELL I would ever consider it in my FD!

18th of which month? If it's this month I won't be able to make it. Next month I can come down for it though! I'll be in the FD if it's back from IRP/Enzo by then, on the bike if not.
