Friday 11/11/16 Ride


Fellow Riders,
  • This Friday I plan to find my way to the Sapphire Mountain Brewing Company for some lunch.  They are located at the Sapphire National Golf Shop in Sapphire, NC.  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 join me.    Dan

  • Seven riders came to the Key Mart parking area for a smokin' ride up to Sapphire Mountain Brewing Company for lunch.  Those joining Dan included Len, David, Rob, Steve G., me, and OG Bob.  It looked like it was going to be a cool ride to start out, so THE ORANGE GLOVES made their first appearance of the cool season.  Thanks to the many wildfires burning in the mountains, especially Pinnacle Mountain at Table Rock, we were riding in pretty smokey air as we explored some of the back roads around Salem.  It was enough smoke that some were considering heading back home, but as we moved higher into the mountain, we found cleaner and cooler air.  Thanks again to Sue, our table was waiting at the restaurant.  Drink and food orders were taken promptly, but little did we know we were about to be involved in The Case of the Missing Cheeseburger Patty.  Dan was surprised to see two cheeseburger patties on his sandwich and removed one to suit his taste.  Soon we realized David was not being served his meal while everyone else was munching on theirs.  When David asked the server about his order, he was told the cook knew he cooked two burgers, but couldn't find one of them.  Guess who had it?  She apologized and it seemed to take way too long to get David another burger, but after all of the rest of us were finished eating, he got his sandwich.  The ride home was a more direct route and we hit the smoke again as we got close to Salem.  Although smokey, it was another great day on two wheels.   Steve

Great grandfather of the two patty hamburger.......
