- How many “seasons” do we have to go through before “unseasonably cold” becomes the “normal season”? Anyway, in light of the unseasonably cold but dry conditions, I’m planning to stay a little closer to home and ride on over to Old Easley and have some lunch at the Starving Artist Café. If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday. Dan
- With the temps in the high 30's, it was a little surprising to see 10 riders in the Key Mart parking area this morning. Dan had another fine route through Oconee and Pickens Counties to get the group to Easley. Riding along with Dan were Lesley, Len, Steve G., Rob, Jim (wing), me, Russ, Ed, and Bob. The view of the mountains while traveling Belle Shoals Road was very good, but I'm sure on a clear day it would be spectacular. It felt like it was getting cooler the closer we got to Easley. It was confirmed there was at least a 4 degree drop in temperature, taking us down to 39 degrees. Eagle Eye Ed (EEE) spotted something white on Russ's rear tire on the ride over. It turned out to be the cords showing where the rubber was supposed to be. It is now tire purchase time for Russ. Our group descended on The Starving Artist, and as usual, proceeded to rearrange the tables so all ten of us were sitting together. The server got us started with hot drinks right away and started taking food orders. EEE, having spent the last hour looking at the rear tire on Russ's bike, was confused by the quiche special on the board. He tried to order all nine ingredients, which represented four different quiches, in one quiche. The server set him straight and took the rest of our orders. They do a fine job with food at The Starving Artist. Based on most of us still feeling a little cool, especially "Bright Orange Electric Gloves, but no batteries" Bob, Dan took us on the most direct route home. By the time we arrived home, the sun was shining, but still a bit cool. All in all though, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
