About the event
This is a Peachtree MG Registry event. Â The ORF (old retired friends) drive was started years ago by Larry Norton and Tom Nadelhoffer to offer retired PMGR members and those who could sneak in a day off an opportunity for a mid-week drive without school buses, commuters, bicyclists and the usual Saturday traffic. Â The ORF's are usually held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Â They meet for breakfast and then take off for a spirited drive ending at a nice spot to take in lunch. Â Tom and Larry have been kind enough to offer this driving opportunity to GTA members. Â RSVP's are mandatory. Â
The ORF on Wednesday July 19, 2023 will be to Blue Ridge, GA. The route up is approximately 75 miles with a 2 hour driving time on some twisty and curvy roads.
