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

| I heard this girl wants to lead Friday, so I've decided to ride the Tail of the Dragon instead of riding with the KK group. |
- Well, a large rain cloud parked over our area and I doubt there was a ride at 10:30 this morning. However, I had made arrangements to meet a couple friends in Sylva, NC, and then head over to ride The Tail of the Dragon. I did, fortunately, wear my rain gear as I left. By the time I was half-way to Salem, it was pouring. At least I was able to get a "Bob" bike wash - no wiping, no streaks, only lots of spots. We met up and headed west to take my friends on their first ride on the trail. They were not on a bike, but they were driving a 2009 Corvette Convertible, so it looked cool going through the turns. The weather was great and there were a lot of bikes making the run north and south on 129. We did see one bike sitting on a flatbed tow truck that failed to navigate a turn, but with the number of Sheriff Patrol Cars on the Tail, things were pretty calm. It was a great day on two wheels for me, and four wheels for my friends. Steve
