NEW EVENT in conjunction with Maggie Valley 2018!
LUNCH with @sideseatdriver!
Look, you guys are gonna be riding all over hell and creation anyway. Why not slide over to Waynesville, go down 276 into SC and continue to Greenville, and come have lunch at our place? 276 is an awesome ride through the mountains, we're only about 3 hrs away from Maggie, and there are multiple ways to go back, including the way you came down, 3-4 hours return trip.

So, we're hosting lunch at our place. We'll put a meal on the table, coffee and beer and whatever else, you guys can take a break from the road and share some camaraderie, and still get some good drives in. We'd love to see everyone! And this might be our only realistic chance to meet some of you.
And, I might even be able to provide a guest of honor! Kind of like last year's Lunch With @Bill Martin, but better. I mean, Bill's not exactly the man he once was, so I decided to go one up this year. 
Want to see? Come on over!
More details to follow, but...put it on your calendar, will ya? I'll start calling individuals out later. 
But seriously, bet we can't get 40 Slings in my cul-de-sac...or can we?
(And we'll accept RSVPs now or later...will eventually need a headcount for chow.)
