Lunch Run/Road trip to Niffer's on Lake Martin and Hodges Winery
Saturday, October 27, 2012
Let's plan to meet at the Burlington Coat Factory parking lot (Atlanta Highway @ E. Bypass, behind Varsity BBQ) and be ready to roll at 10:00am. It usually takes just over an hour to motor to Niffer's via US 231N, Redland Road, Friendship Road, Cherokee Trail, AL 229, AL 50 & 49. We can order and be eating by 11:30.
If you need to get back home for a ball game, that’s fine. OR, if you'd like to ride another 11 miles, Ron Pardo has suggested that we visit the Hodges Winery. It's located about 9 miles east of Walnut Hill for a tour and tasting. Here's a review from Lake Martin Living magazine.
Driving directions to Niffer’s then to Hodges Vineyard

I hope you can make it, but I know it's a long way for you. No need to let me know -- just show up if you can.
I'm not sure I made it clear that this isn't JUST a MINI event. Several of the older MGs, Triumphs, Austin Healeys and Jaguars from the local British Motoring Club will be joining us so the pace may be a bit slower than you're used to, but, The roads are good and our destinations fun.
Hope to see you Saturday,
Russell
