Friday 9/19/14 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • While Dan's away, the rest of us can play.  Let's plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 8:30 am for a ride to Pendleton and visit the Village Bakery and Cafe for some breakfast.  Hope to see you there.     Steve

  • Just a trio of riders left Key Mart for the ride to Pendleton this morning, but there were five for breakfast.  (I'll explain later).  Unexpected rain around 5 am made the streets a little wet, but Bob likes a free bike wash, so I knew there would be at least one other rider to go for the breakfast ride.  Lesley pulled up in her 4-wheeler and said the damp weather was causing some problems for her Honda and it didn't want to run.  So, she told us she would meet me, Bob, and Rob in Pendleton.  In the meantime, I got a call from Ed who said he would also meet us at the Bakery.  The ride was fairly direct and all five arrived at about the same time.  The restaurant was not very crowded, but our usual seats in the separate back room were taken.  The coffee was great and so was the food.  Salmonella Ed thought the cook might have flipped the eggs over a little too "easy," but I didn't see any left on the plate.  We all shuddered when one of our group, you'll have to guess which one, asked for some "fruity tea."  So much for our tough biker image.  Also, the Honda did run once the gas was turned on.... oops!  The ride back took us into some heavy mist that began turning into larger drops, so we made a left in Pickens and headed back home.  It was another, although slightly unusual, great day on two wheels.   Steve
