Friday 09/23/16 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Friday is projected to be a fine day for a ride in the mountains so I am planning to chug on up to Franklin, NC for some lunch at the Gazebo Creekside Café.  We’ve been there before and I thought it was worth another try.  Hope you can join me.    Dan


  • Eight riders came to ride along with Dan today.  It was another fine fall summer day in South Carolina.  Those joining Dan were Gadget, Jim H (road king), Rob, Pat, me, Bill, OG Bob, and Bob B, who, based on his LL Bean wardrobe, might have thought we were going to do some hunting as well as riding today. After circling Salem, we made our way up Bear Tooth Pass, also known as Hwy 130, and headed for Hwy 64 in Cashiers. Dan took the very scenic route by turning onto Buck Creek Road.  This awesome winding mountain road took us within a few miles of our destination.  Parking is always a problem at Gazebo Creekside Café, but the food and service are quite good, so it's worth the trip.  Our server Brittany, was super.  She moved tables together, took our drink and food orders right away, and kept checking on us to make sure we were all set.  After lunch, we took the express, Hwy 441, from Franklin to Clayton, and of course, got onto War Woman for another great road to get us back home.  The calendar says fall, and while we were in the mountains, it felt like it, but by the time we got home, it was more like a summer day.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.    Steve
