PLEASE NOTE: BECAUSE OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN ON SATURDAY, WE ARE USING THE RAIN DATE (SUNDAY 4/27). Everything just moves by 24 hours.
In 2015, club member Michael Brittingham suggested a Spring tour from the southern entrance of Skyline Drive at Rockfish Gap up to the Skyland Resort to take in the views and wildflowers. In tribute to Michael, who recently departed, this tour is a chance to escape to the mountain tops and soak up the beauty of it all.
The group will meet near the Rockfish Gap (South Entrance) East of Waynesboro, VA off Highway 250 (see map).
Timetable:

8:30 AM – Gather at the old Howard Johnson’s parking lot off Howardsville Tpke. (Rockfish Gap/Afton). Close to where Route 250 and Howardsville Tpke meet.
9 AM – Begin Tour – Enter Skyline Drive at Rockfish Gap Entrance Station. Proceed about 64 miles north to Skyland with multiple viewing points along the way.
11 AM-11:30 AM – Arrive at Skyland for lunch, more views, and good company. Maybe kick a few tires too. You can see the Skyland menu here.

Please Note:
You will need a Shenandoah National Park Pass to enter Skyline Drive. Please allow extra time if you’re having it mailed to you.
Please RSVP by April 25 to Sean O’Malley (bagpiper116@aol.com) so we know how many folks to expect.
See Sean O’Malley’s invitation and article here in pdf form. He’s included some some interesting history about Skyland and the wildflowers we can expect along the way during this time of year.

Beside shade trees there are rest rooms, several food trucks and of course great shopping…….The Mall location checks all the boxes for a great show! Ed has negotiated a great deal for our 25th anniversary car show!

Picnic + Motorcycle Museum + British Car Tech Session at Mike Mutter's
2025-05-10 12:00 - 15:30 | Mike Mutter, 600 Sweibyan Dr, Earlysville, VA, 22936, United States
Michael Mutter has invited us to his beautiful home and workshop/museum on the Rivanna River near Earlysville. He admits to being more into motorcycles than cars (although he has a beautiful XK150 Drophead). Expect to see Nortons, Vincents and Velocettes among the British bikes in this private collection.
Here’s updated information from Michael:
“Please join us for a luncheon at my home at 600 Sweibyan Dr. Earlysville VA 22936 to view my collection and shop from Noon to 3:30 on Saturday May 10. I will supply pulled pork, black beans and rice, beer, wine and some form of sparkling water. Please feel free to bring an appetizer or dessert or supply your special dietary needs.
My collection is primarily motorbikes (OK, also a 1960 Jaguar XK150 DHC, hence membership in this club) with nearly two dozen British bikes from 1931 to 1972 with makes including Vincent, Velocette, Norton, Ariel and Matchless, and a number (greater than 30) of Japanese, Italian and other European bikes, as well, mostly from the 50s to 70s. I do my own mechanical and cosmetic work and will give a tour of the shop as well.
There will also be several technical demonstrations more relevant to the four wheel inclined given by Mark Lee.
I hope to see you all.
Best,
Michael Mutter”
Mark Lee is planning a brief tech session in Michael’s workshop to cover these three topics:

The inner workings of a gearbox – Mark has a dissected MGB gearbox and laid it out so that you can see precisely how power flows through the input shaft and layshaft to the gears on the output shaft, what happens when you change gears, and how synchromesh actually works.
Relays demystified – how common relays actually work (much simpler than many realize), how their wiring is virtually universal, and how you can add one to a circuit. If you don’t have a relay in your headlamp circuit, this will show you how you can add one for brighter light and reduced strain/wear on your headlight switch.
The basics of constant vacuum carburetors like SU and Zenith-Stromberg – how they actually work and how they differ from conventional venturi carbs. We’ll have an S.U. apart for reference.
