- Friday’s forecast is calling for increased chance for rain as the day proceeds, however starting the new year off not riding on the first Friday doesn’t sound like a very good start. Therefore I’m thinking if the roads are dry I’m just going to try and get in a short ride over to the Pendleton Village Baker Café. If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM and maybe it won’t rain on us, being it IS the first Friday of the year. Dan
- Eight riders bought in to the weather forecast propaganda that rain wouldn't appear until the afternoon. That meant Dan, Lesley, me, Rob, Russ, Kevin and neighbor Ken, and Bob got a fairly good soaking after our lunch in Pendleton. Turns out Ed was the visionary. He decided to drive to the bakery in his car and wasn't concerned about driving home in wet conditions. Bob didn't seem to mind the rain, because he now has his annual bike wash done for the year. He even saw some young fans along the way waving some of those orange gloves. Although the ride home was quite soggy, the ride to Pendleton was pleasant enough. The skies were grey, but the route through Six Mile and Liberty took us through some familiar Pickens and Anderson County countryside. We did manage to spook a couple of horses when Lesley's Honda popped a couple of loud backfires, though I'm sure they survived the scare. The girls at the Village Baker gave us our familiar back room to keep us away from the other decent customers. They apparently fixed the leak we've encountered in that room on several occasions. You can always count on a good meal here. Everyone seemed relaxed until someone got word that it was raining in Keowee Key and we quickly headed for the bikes. It turns out Dan does know short routes as well as the normal long ones we all enjoy. Although a bit soggy, it was still a great day on two wheels. Steve
