- I made it back home for at least one Friday, then I’m gone for a couple of more, so I’m really hoping Friday is a good day for riding. At least once more I’m going to challenge Mother Nature and try some mountain riding up to Brevard, NC for some lunch at Duggan’s. I sure hope that works out and you all can join me. If so let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday. Hope to see you then. Dan
- It turned out to be a fabulous day to ride to Brevard - sunny skies and warm temperatures. There were six riders that met up with Dan and included Chuck C. (welcome, a new rider, started last week), Steve G., Bill G. (two articles in the latest issue of Full Throttle Magazine), me, OG Bob (with temps in the 80's, the orange gloves are put away and he wears his "I'd rather be riding a" Harley gloves), and Bob B. Dan had us on the back roads of Pickens in no time and then on to the very winding Hwy 178. To make sure we didn't get there too soon, we took some more back roads around Rosman before arriving in Brevard. Sue, as usual, called ahead and they pulled some tables together for the seven of us when we arrived. The service always seems a little slow, but the food is always good at Dugan's. Those feeling especially Irish tried bangers and mash, and some shepherds pie, while the rest of us were happy with more typical pub grub. For the ride home, Dan took us down the mountain via Hwy 276, another of our favorite twisty roads. There were some grey skies around, but they caused us no problem. We didn't get wet, but thankfully for OG Bob, his bike was still "glistening" from the wet ride a couple weeks ago. We finished the route by taking more back roads through Pickens county before gassing up and heading home. It was another great day on two wheels. Steve
