- It seems we may be blessed with another sunny day this Friday, although not super warm in the mountains. I’m hoping we can get at least one more day of mountain riding before the roads get icy so I’m planning to slide on up to Highlands, NC for some lunch at The Sports Page there on Main St. 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

- A sunny, crisp morning greeted the 8 riders, including Dan, that came for trip up to Highlands. Along with Dan were Len, me, Steve G., Russ, Pat, Bill (latest edition of Full Throttle Magazine), and wired for warmth OG Bob (see photo below). Siri said it was only about 35 degrees in Highlands when we were leaving, so everyone put on their heat for the ride up the mountain. As often happens at the beginning of the cold season, a few batteries weren't working and there was a blown fuse, but we all survived the December air. Dan cut the route a little short because it was a tad cooler than expected. Maybe we former northerners just take longer to adapt to the cold these days. Plenty of seats were available at the restaurant and we placed our orders at the counter and grabbed a couple booths. Sports Page has some very good sandwiches and the chili was popular for some reason today. After a relaxing lunch, we made our way to the very curvy Hwy 28 for a fun ride home. With the sun shining brightly, the trip down the mountain saw increasing temperatures and it was around 60 degrees by the time we stopped for fuel. This may be the last trip up the mountain for a while, so it was good Dan made this our trip for the day. It was another great and cool day to be on two wheels. Steve
