Friday 8/23/13 Ride


Fellow Riders,

  • While Dan is away, I'll repost his note from last week.  
    • "Unless otherwise notified, the Friday Ride will leave from the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM.  You may select a leader and ride destination at that time.  In my haste to handle my grandparental duties I failed to hit the right button trying to send out this message on Wednesday.  Better late than never.  I will not be available to ride until September as I will be grand parenting and visiting with family members up north.  See you all next month and Ride Safe     Dan  
BMW R7 Motorcycle - Ahead of its time! 
  • Five riders left the Key Mart Parking area today for a ride to Saluda.  The group was led by Pete, sporting a new 2013HD Bagger (the Beamer was resting comfortably at home).  Those following Pete's lead were Gadget (Larry), Len, me, and Russ.  We made our way through the Greenville Watershed, having been delayed on 130 for several minutes while trees were being cleared, and also following an oversized load on an 18-wheeler along Highway 11.  The road through the watershed had parts that must have been engineered and built by Michigan road builders.  I could tell by the washboard effect while riding over those sections.  We had lunch at The Purple Onion in Saluda and enjoyed sitting outside under the covered section.  The food was a little slow coming out, but was very good.  Pete started us back to KK, but pealed off to head home near Greenville.  Len carried on and took us back on some great roads.  It was another great day on two wheels.   Steve

Better to wait for the trees to be cleared than to have gotten caught in the storm!
