Friday 01/20/17 Ride


Fellow Riders,
  • Friday’s forecast is calling for some rain in the early morning which could linger into the later morning.  Should it be raining or even if the roads are wet my bike will be staying in the garage.  However, should the local roads be dry I may try to get out but stay close to the ranch by circling about until I accidentally end up at the Hungry House Café in Seneca.  We need the rain but let’s hope the roads dry up by 10:30 AM and we can ride.    Dan

  • Fortunately, the roads were sufficiently dry that four riders, including Dan, came out for a round about ride into Seneca.  Those riding with Dan included me, Russ, and OG Bob.  Dan came up with a 40+ mile route to stretch the normally 20 minute, 13 mile ride into an hour long adventure.  We drove around the outskirts of Salem and saw some of the country "suburbs" where some folks obviously think taking out the trash means opening the front door and trying to sling it beyond the porch.  There really are some nice homes on large parcels of property as you wind through Oconee County and head into Seneca.  We beat the lunch crowd and had no trouble getting a table.  The service was okay, a little slow, and the food was pretty good.  It's hard to beat the prices at local restaurants like Betty's.  The ride home was a short one and we finally had some full sun to bask in while we road.  We were all glad we got a ride in today, although OG Bob had hoped for at least a partial bike wash. It was another great day on two wheels.      Steve
