Friday 6/4/15 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • I plan to try another breakfast ride this Friday and scoot on over to Clayton, GA for some breakfast at the Clayton Café.  Wednesday’s breakfast ride worked out pretty good and those of us that went were able to just miss the mountain rain storms and make it back to KK totally dry.  The forecast for Friday is calling for PM storms again (what’s new?) and I’m hoping that by doing a breakfast ride we can beat it back to KK before any bad stuff happens.  If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 8:30 AM this Friday and beat the heat.  Hopefully, the roads are dry at that time and I see you then.   Dan

  • A morning breakfast ride was welcomed by 10 riders on a clear and comfortable South Carolina morning.  I'm not sure if the appeal was breakfast, or avoiding the threat of afternoon showers that brought out Dan, Lesley, Len, Rob, Jim, Bill (US Rider News), me, Pat, Dave D., and Ed, but everyone seemed eager for the ride.  We made our way west to Hwy 28 and headed for Clayton.  Dan took us onto Whetston from 28 to make it over to 76, passing by orchards as we motored along.  Just like the movies, we pulled up in front of the Cafe, and there was plenty of parking for our 10 bikes.  We placed our drink and food orders fairly quickly and sat back waiting for our coffee.  Egg dishes were quite popular with the group, and I tried something new - sweet potato pancakes.  They tasted good and quite a lot like pumpkin pancakes I've had before.  Once through with our breakfast, we headed for an old favorite - Warwoman Road. We got off to a slow start behind a pick-up that was in no hurry at all.  We finally hit an open stretch and made our way around the truck, picking up the pace through the curves.  Once we got onto Playground near Walhalla, the group broke up and headed in different directions.  The rains did eventually come, but we were all dry and had another great day on two wheels.   Steve
