Friday 03/11/2016 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • This Friday I plan to go to the Gumlog BBQ & Fish Camp south of Toccoa.  This is the same route we did today with my brother, but with company I just don’t have time to plan another route.  If you would like to join me, let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM.  Hope you will join me.    Dan

  • Nine riders were at Key Mart today to take a ride into Georgia to visit Gumlog BBQ & Fish Camp.  The riders included Dan's brother Len (welcome Len), Gadget, Russ, Me, Steve G., Denny, Kevin, and Ed. Bill, now a writer for Full Throttle Magazine,  unable to ride today, stopped by to hand out the March edition.  Dan had led a group to Gumlog on Wednesday, only to find out they are only open Friday through Sunday.  He decided to take a different route today and definitely took us on some roads I don't recall being on before.  I'm no farmer, but the overwhelming scent in the air leads me to believe the cows in western Oconee county are healthy and processing a lot of water.  Whew!!!  We arrived at Gumlog to find a very crowded parking lot and at least a 20 - 30 minute wait to be seated.  This gave Dan the opportunity to truly replicate Wednesday's ride by taking us to Lavonia to the always delicious 211 Main Street Restaurant and Bakery.  We were fortunate to get a table large enough to accommodate us and the service was very good and fast.  Kevin chose the kind of the meal most of the rest of us would like to have tried - a cup of soup and a very large piece of cake.  He says his bicycle will get a good workout this afternoon.  The ride home took the familiar route through Fair Play for most of us, while some of those that live on the other end of Seneca took scenic Hwy 11.The weather for todays ride was great - very warm with overcast skies.  It was another great day on two wheels.    Steve
