There will NOT be a lunch this month. Our Miatas on the Back of Dragon is the following weekend. October is filled with festivals all over the state and almost every weekend. It did not feel right taking up 2 Saturdays of this beautiful time of year. Find a festival and drive your Miata!

For those who aren’t familiar with the Miatas on the Back of Dragon, refer to the other “EVENT” that is posted. Of course you can send email to us, Crountryroadsmiatas@gmail.com for more details.

November’s meeting will be posted as soon as it is scheduled.

Little Italy Pizza & Italian Restaurant, 612 S. Main St. King, NC

Won’t you join us for some fabulous food and great conversation re these fun cars we all love to drive? There should be plenty of conversation, we didn’t meet last month, because of vacation plans. If your “New” to the club, there is absolutely no pressure to join on the first visit. Get to know us, and go for a drive with us, then decide. It is only $20 per car, per year. Yes, I said per car, LOL, several of our members have 2 Miatas, a his & her! If the weather is in our favor we will drive over to Danbury for some great tasting ice cream, at Rocky’s Coffee & Ice Cream in Danbury. Hope to meet you soon!

Lowe’s Park at Rivers Edge, Wilkesboro, NC

Pack your favorite picnic lunch! Bring a chair, just in case, and of course your bug spray! Our first option is no longer an option. The parks off the Blue Ridge Pkwy are closed. This place is easy to get to and has clean facilities as well as a shelter with tables. I would still bring a chair, ya just never know who else might be there. We will be driving to Stone Mountain area after lunch for ice cream, if weather permits. With us not in a restaurant, I don’t think we would be there for an hour and half. So, the time is only an hour.

If you're a guest and never been to one of our meetings, now is a great time to check us out! No pressure to “Sign Up”. Just hang out with us, then decide another time if we would be a club you would want to join.

Plaza Del Sol, 1917 US-421 A, Wilkesboro, NC 28697

It will be great to see everyone, since we took a break from May. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday with their family. Hope to see all who can make this drive and try this Mexican place. It was great the two times I have ate here. I am planning a drive for ice cream afterwards, that will take us up toward the BRP, but not on the parkway. Hoping for some sunny weather to drop the tops and feel the rays on our skin!

If you are new to our club, come on and meet us! Plan to go on the drive afterwards. Then decide if we are people you want to hang out with once a month!

If you have any questions beforehand, feel free to email us at Countryroadsmiatas@gmail.com.
