The Whitewater Center in Charlotte is having a concert with the Del McCoury band Sunday night at 6. I think I will go up there about 2:30 and do about a 2 1/2-3 hour ride and hang around for the concert. Anyone want to join me?

This was posted on the forum, but I don't think anyone reads that any more, so I will repeat it here.
A few of us from Spartanburg are planning a trip to Mulberry Gap (www.mulberrygap.com) for the weekend of October 8-10. I have never been there before, but it is supposed to be a great place to camp and ride. I would lo...ve to see some SORBA folks join us. The cost is $75/night if you stay in the bunk house, which includes 2 meals, or $15/night to camp, with the option of purchasing meals. Post up here or email me at mikebmiller@gmail.com if you would like to come.

Jeff reserved the camp area near the water tank, however, we will definitely fill up that location. I would reserve your site as soon as possible to get a site near the water tank or at the least to have a site at all.
