Friday 11/27/15 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • For those of us that are still hanging around this Friday and want to do a little ride I thought I might scoot on up to the Sapphire Mountain Brewing Co. for some lunch.  If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 am.  Ride safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving Day.   Dan
A Yamaha, so it must be Bob preparing for the Friday ride.

Friday 11/20/15 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Let’s not be discouraged by a little rain because it is supposed to be long gone by Friday so I’m planning to ride my motorcycle on dry roads all the way up to the Flat Rock Wood Room between Flat Rock and Hendersonville for some lunch.  If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.  C U then.   Dan

Friday 11/13/15 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Friday’s forecast is calling for plenty of sunshine but a little colder, especially up in the mountains, so I’m not planning to ride too far north, just up to Dugan’s Irish Pub in Brevard.  Might as well get used to it.  Want to join me?  Let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM Friday.    Dan

  • Eleven riders, including Dan, turned out for another great fall ride in the upstate and into the mountains.  Along with Dan, the riders were Gadget, Len, Steve G., Rob, me, Bill, Pat, Russ, Ed, and orange gloved Bob.  The destination was Brevard, and as always, Dan came up with a route that included familiar roads as well as some most of us had not been on.   Event director Sue, even while shopping feverishly in Greenville, took care of getting us a reservation. The girls at the restaurant were ready for us, but weren't sure if we wanted to be seated inside or out.  Apparently, they are not familiar with riding on two wheels on a cool mountain day.  We elected to eat indoors and the service was good and reasonably quick for 11 leathered customers.  The food ran the gamut from shepherds pie to Greek salad, with a lot of fried fish as well.  As we left, Orange Gloves became enamored with a seat in the bar area.  Maybe he was thinking it would look good on his bike.  You just never know what he is thinking.  The ride back took us west on US 64 to Hwy 281 south.  It was another great fall day on two wheels.     Steve 
Bob - "Wouldn't this look great on a Yamaha?"

Friday 11/6/15 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • It seems Mother Nature could only allow us one great day for riding and peeping, that being last week, thus this Friday’s forecast is calling for possible rain and drizzle so I am not planning a ride.  Should the conditions change at the last minute we can play it by ear.  Try and stay safe and dry.    Dan
You can only have so much fun in the rain, and today was a little too much....
