Friday 05/05/17 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • How about we snake our way up to Brevard, NC and have some lunch at an old standby, Duggan’s Pub?  If you want to go let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.  Hope to see you there.   Dan

  • Still planning to ride but not in the mountains due to the higher probability of rain.  I’m thinking it might be safer to stay closer to the ranch by circling around to end up in Westminster, maybe at Peurto Nuevo.  After all it is “cinco de mayo.”   Dan


  • It certainly did not feel like an Upstate spring day when four riders came to the Key Mart parking area to join Dan for a ride.  Dan made a good call changing the venue.  With ominous skies and temperatures peaking in the low sixties, it felt more like a late winter day.  Joining Dan were Bob D., me, Terry, and OG Bob (he was definitely wearing the infamous orange gloves today).  The Westminster location of Puerto Nuevo is about 20 miles south east of the Key Mart where we met, so, of course, Dan heads out in a north westerly direction to get us there.  This route took us through parts of Pickens and Anderson county as we looped around to head to Westminster.  With only a couple glimpses of the sun, everyone was feeling the cold by the time we got to the restaurant.  Our server, who gave off the impression he didn't really like being a server, took our drink orders right away and then came for the food orders.  As always at Mexican restaurants, the food arrived fairly soon on plates too hot to touch.  Everything was okay except he had left the word Deluxe off of OG's burrito order and this caused a delay in Bob getting his food.  By the time we finished, we had all warmed up for the more direct route home.  Even with the gray skies and cool temperatures, it was still another great day on two wheels.    Steve
