Friday 4/11/14 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Friday weather is looking good so I’m planning to head on over to the Dutch Plate in Campobello, SC for some lunch.  If you want to join me, let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.  Hope to see you there.   Dan

  • We finally had great weather for our Friday ride.  The high clouds kept the sun in check, and temps were perfect.  However, strong gusts of wind did keep things interesting.  There were nearly a dozen riders that turned out for the ride today.  Dan led 10 others - Len, Lesley, Greg (great to see him on a ride again), me, Russ, Rob, Kevin (last ride before heading back to the links in New Hampshire), Mel B. (first time rider), Joe (another first time rider), and Shovel Ready Bob.  The ride to Campobello is always a nice one - a good combination of country and highway roads and a lot of curves with minimal tight turns.  We managed to find the restaurant without our customary drive-by/u-turn.  The great thing about The Dutch Plate is you don't have to bring a lot of money to enjoy some great food.  The one thing you do need though, is patience.  It takes the kitchen folks a while to get the large group of orders ready at the same time.  Our server did make sure everyone's coffee or tea was always filled to the brim. The route back was all on the Cherokee Scenic Highway. Fortunately, the guy that buzzed by on his crotch rocket made sure everyone was awake as we made our way back.  It was another great day on two wheels.       Steve
