Friday 5/8/15 Ride

Fellow Riders

  • Last Friday we were shown proper etiquette by our better halves, now it is time to try it on our own.  So I plan to ride on up to Sylva, NC and try my face feeding skills at Lulu’s On Main.  If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.  Hope the weather holds out and I see you there.   Dan

  • Only five riders met at Key Mart today for a planned ride to Sylva.  However, orange-gloved weather forecaster Bob, reported that the chance of rain had increased to over 50% for the mountains.  Knowing how Bob doesn't like to let a chance for a free bike wash pass, I was surprised he was reluctant to head to the mountains.  Then, I remembered he already got his spring bike wash a couple months ago.  So Dan called an audible and said we would go to BJ's in Toccoa.  With a small group and plenty of time, we were able to check out some different roads to get to our Georgia destination.  We took a right onto River road and that turned out to be a pretty interesting ride to travel along the Tugaloo River.  We arrived at BJ's and were promptly seated and served.  The servers are friendly and the food very good.  Bacon seemed to be a favorite for a majority of the group and we weren't disappointed.  As we traveled back to the Keowee Key area, you could see billowing clouds building to the north, over the mountains.  As Bob would agree, we should all continue to pay attention to what he has to say.  It was another great day on two wheels.   Steve
