Friday 04/06/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • I'm looking forward to riding after being away for a few weeks and thought heading to The Dutch Plate in Campobello would make for a good ride.  The weather looks like it will cooperate for a nice ride this Friday.  If it sounds good to you, let's plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 10:30.  Hope to see you there.    Steve
  • The forecast was somewhat promising for the day and it was enough to entice 10 riders for a road trip to Campobello.  The riders meeting me at Key Mart included David D., Rob, Len, Ray, Doug, Gary, Bill (delivered his last Full Throttle Magazine - Retired), and Pat.  Pete met up with us as we crossed US 25 via Hwy 414. We were enjoying the sun and the rising temperature as we left the parking area in Salem, but by the time we were north of Pickens, it was nothing but cloudy skies.  With about 60 miles to get to our destination, we took mostly familiar roads and only a few of the lesser traveled county roads.  We arrived around noon and the tables were set for the 10 of us, thanks to you know who calling ahead for us.  The restaurant was not very busy and the friendly staff took our drink orders right away (lots of coffee due to the cool ride) and then got our food choices.  The food is good there and the breakfast menu was definitely the most popular selection for our group.  No one braved the scrapple on this trip.  The food took a long time to come out of the small kitchen and they were very apologetic, so no one seemed too upset.  After the leisurely lunch, we headed west on scenic Hwy 11 and the skies seemed to be getting dark.  We did encounter some rain drops, but nothing a bunch of grizzled bikers couldn't handle.  When we reached Cleveland, I headed south on Hwy 276 for a few more country roads and most of the other riders stayed on Hwy 11 for a little quicker ride home.  Although a little cloudy and cooler than I wanted, it was still another great day on two wheels.     Steve
