Road Enthusiast Meetings

The first annual National Road Enthusiast Meet will be held August 10-12, 2006, in the Pittsburgh area. For more info and sign-up details, please click here.

Road enthusiast meets, also called "roadgeek meets", are nothing new. In fact, there have been sporadic meets since 1999, when Jeff Kitsko, the "National's" organizer, organized the first ever such meeting in his home state of Pennsylvania. For a brief history and photos from past meetings, please see Pete Jenior's "roadgeek meet" website.

Admittedly, I have never been to a "roadgeek meet", and regretfully, I will not be able to make the "National". However, it is possible that we here in Georgia could host a future "National" if there is enough interest. Before planning such an event down here, we will first see how this inaugural "National" goes.

Most of all, our hats are off to Jeff and we wish him well in this groundbreaking endeavor. :)

That's all for now. Thanks for reading and please visit often.
