- Last week Mother Nature prevented us from riding to Brevard, so I’m going to plan it again this week, even though the forecast is a bit sketchy. I’m planning a ride to Brevard, NC for some lunch at Duggan’s Pub and if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can change the plan. If you would like to join me, let’s try leaving the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday. Hope you can make it. Dan
- Again, Mother Nature has conspired to upset our plans by bringing the rain in from the North this afternoon. Therefore I’m planning just a short ride this morning, to the Village Bakery Café in Pendleton so we can maybe get back before any inclement weather. Dan
- Quite a crowd came to the Key Mart parking area to join Dan for a ride to Plan B. The riders included Leslie (great to see you again, been a while), Len, David D., Rob, me, Gary, Terry, Steve G., Russ, Rob, OG Bob, and Ed. By the time we left the parking lot, the rain chances had increased and could start as early as noon. Dan had a pretty direct route to Pendleton to ensure we could get there without getting wet. OG Bob hated to miss a bike wash opportunity. Someone commented, that as slow as the service can be sometimes at the Bakery, we might still get caught in the rain. When we arrived in Pendleton, it quickly became obvious that a lot of Clemson graduation parties/lunches were underway. As it turns out, super concierge Sue actually drove to Pendleton to tell us it wasn't going to be possible to get in to the Bakery due to the lunches and parties. We had a couple of options - Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant, and the Islander Pub & Grille. Rob and Len decided it would more to their liking to ride some more instead of eating, and away they went. Once Ed confirmed the Islander was open, we all headed in. Very few had eaten here before and there was some concern about how good they were when it was virtually empty, while the Bakery was overbooked. Any concerns were put to rest once we got our meals. Most people got a soup/sandwich combo and everyone seemed delighted with the food. The route home was also direct to make sure we avoided the rain. Even with the gray skies and moving to option C for our destination, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
