Oktoberfest Run

 Oct run to Adolf's Gasthoff Old Bavarian Restaurant Oct. 26th

Note that it's earlier this year to avoid the HUGE rush in the early afternoon.

1130 Knightville Road

Menu https://oldbavarian.ca/menu/
They now accept modern payment methods.

Contact the restaurant (1-506-433-4735) NOW if you plan on attending.

Tell them that you are with FABAC.  The reservation is under my name.

      Gather at Ramada Inn parking lot (north side) on Sunday, Oct 26th at 10:15, rain or ...it's gonna rain of course so there's no contingency plan for sunshine.

The route:

• Depart the parking lot at 12:15 sharp along the scenic 105. A short detour along the boring Trans Canada to avoid the partially demolished bridge. 
• Regain the 105 after Jemseg and turn left onto the 695 heading towards Cambridge Narrows. 
• After Crossing the bridge at Cambridge Narrows we turn left onto the lovely and relaxing 710. 
• The 710 makes a right turn somewhere after someplace named 'Cody's'. 
• Join up with the straight and boring (but thankfully short) highway 10, 
• Just before Sussex, turn left onto Roachville Rd.  I don't remember if there's much of a sign there but if we/you miss it, you/we can pick it up soon after at the interchange. 
• Follow Roachville Rd a while until you see the right hand turn onto Knightville Rd....which is on the right. At some point the restaurant will appear on the right.

     Maps or GPSs are well advised.  I no longer get lost and lead folks astray, but we may become separated. We hope to get there around 12:00. 

We hope that some of our old friends from Moncton join us.

• Then over to Evandale Ferry.

Sunday trips to Gagetown and beyond!

What a great day for a drive in British sports cars! After arriving in Gagetown for lunch at the Gagetown Grill, where Bruce, Johanna, Mike, Mark, Ernst and I had a great lunch. We headed out in five British cars out for a wonderful diver on Rte715 Cambridge Narrows to Cole Island turn off. We then drove to Chipman and Minto. Stopping at McCready’s Gas station so Ernst could get gas and where we met up with Gary Sudul. He invited us over to his cottage on Cumberland Bay where he picked up his TR6. Then Gary took the lead to Chipman/Minto just outside Chipman taking the Post Road and now there are Six cars. I followed up at the back of the group. I must say what a beautiful sight watching these car rolling a long the road. I would like to thank everyone for coming along on the drive. 

Cheers, 

John

 I would like to thank everyone that attended today, We had 13 people attend. I only had one problem. I got lost on the way to St. George. I went on route 770 instead of route 760, knowing that  770 would take me to St. George via Bonnie River. But I turned left instead of right and we ended up going on a road that only a four wheel and dirt bike would really liked. I feel bad that I had the other members drive on 17 km of gravel road. So they’re not many pictures of the cars as they are 95% covered in heavy dust. But all in all I think we had a great time. Great meal, great company, everybody I hope enjoyed themselves.

All the best 

John

Cheers, 

John
