Friday 12/15/17 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • Winter has finally caught up with us forcing a more southerly destination for those of us who think we can ride year around.  I’m going to bundle up and ride over to Nick Henry’s Restaurant in Powdersville.  If you have some old snowmobile warm stuff, it’s time to get it out and meet at the Key Mart parking area for a 10:30 AM departure.  Hope to see you there.     Dan



  • It was a cool and overcast day for the ride Dan planned that would take us to Nick Henry's in Powdersville.  Along with Dan, the group of seven included Len, me, Russ, Steve G., Gary, and OG Bob with the amazing technicolor orange gloves.  It takes some creativity for a scenic ride to Powdersville, but Dan was up to the challenge.  We snaked our way through Pickens and Anderson counties, stretching the typical 35 mile trip to over an hours ride through the country.  Len and Steve G. said the temperatures never got above 45 - 46 degrees and some of us were starting to feel the chill by the time we got to our destination.  Although Siri and Sue tried, no special seating was waiting for us when we arrived.  The restaurant takes your order, you find a table, and they'll call your name when it's ready.  Having checked out the menu ahead of our ride, I knew I would have to give the "bird dog" a try.  One might think it was a chicken based hot dog, but actually, it's like a deep fried chicken finger stretched out on a hot dog bun.  It was rather tasty, and along with the slaw and french fries made for a good lunch. (If it ain't fried, it ain't food??)  After lunch, OG Bob headed off for Greenville, and Dan led the rest of us through Easley and on to home.  It never really got warm, and the sun just couldn't break through the clouds.  Overall, it was still another great day on two wheels.     Steve
