- Due to this being a special weekend, and guests coming in Friday afternoon, the only way I could finagle a ride was to promise I would keep it as short as possible. So this Friday I am planning to head mostly straight up to the Zookeeper Bistro in Cashiers, NC for some lunch. I plan to head straight up 130/281/64 to get there and come back 107/130. That should be only an hour to get there and 45 minutes back. A small ride is better than no ride. If you can join me let’s leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM. Hope you can join me. Dan
- Seven riders were ready for the trip to Cashiers today. Although Dan was on a tight schedule, it was still going to be a great ride. Along with Dan were Gadget, Len, Cory, me, Pat, and Bill. I wasn't sure we could do an appropriate ride without OG Bob or Ed in the sweep position, but not to worry, Bill did a fine job. We did see OG Bob heading back to KK, probably returning from a trip to the Salem Mall. The fall weather was great as we followed Dan's route up 130/281/64. Traffic was a little heavy and a large gravel truck was doing his best to maintain speed, but eventually, pulled over and let us by. With the colors starting to pop, traffic was fairly heavy all the way into Cashiers. Sue made the call ahead, and the table for seven was waiting for us. We got our drinks fairly quick, but the food seemed to take a while to make it out of the kitchen. It was worth the wait as they do a good job with their sandwiches. After the leisurely lunch it was time to head back, but Gadget and I wanted to do a little more riding on this fine fall day. We headed north on 107 and turned off on Pine Creek Road. Eventually turning into Walnut Creek Road, this was a great road with lots of curves and a few twisties. It was a nice ride over to Hwy 64. On 64 we encountered more traffic as lots of folks were out to take in the changing colors. The sun was hiding and it was actually a cooler ride on the way home than when we started out. It was definitely another great day on two wheels. Steve
