Friday 10/28/16 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Last Friday we went westerly so this Friday I’m thinking easterly would be nice and maybe see some colors.  My plan is to chug on up to Tryon, NC for some lunch at Huckleberry’s.  The route will be familiar to regular riders but I doubt we’ve been to this restaurant.  Hope it works out.  If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.  Hope you can make it.    Dan


  • Another fabulous fall day in the upstate.  So fine, 11 riders arrived for a ride to Tryon to "try on" a restaurant we had not yet visited.  Along with Dan were Gadget, David, Len, Gary, Rob, John, me, Bill, Cory, and Ed.  Dan was able to take us on a number of familiar Oconee and Pickens County roads as we headed north toward Tryon.  Someone, maybe David, thought we might have set a record for the number of times we crossed Hwy 11.  We arrived at Huckleberry's, and thanks to concierge Sue, a table, in the back, of course, was set up for 12 of us.  The reason for 12, was Pete met us at the restaurant.  However, John opted to turn back, so we actually wound up with an empty chair at the table for the 12.  The service was a little slow, it seemed there was only one server, but Gadget got her on track by taking our drink and food orders at the same time.  It still took a while to get our meals, but the food was quite tasty.  They do have an interesting menu that included everything from quiche to a "pear and candied bacon flatbread."  For the ride back, some of us needed to take the express route, while the rest got to ride some more through the mountains.  It was absolutely another great day on two wheels.    Steve
