- Friday the temps are supposed to warm up nicely, so I thought I would try heading north a bit and have some lunch at Mica’s Restaurant & Pub in Sapphire, NC which is just a bit west of Cashiers. If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday. Hope to see you there. Dan
- After a lot of "one step forward, two steps back" with the arrival of spring this year, today was a perfect day to make our first trek into the mountains after several months. Joining Dan today were David D., Doug, Len, Russ, me, Rob, Gary, Pat, and Bill. I think Dan wanted to make sure we got our mountain curvy road "chops" in our first ride north. He was able to turn a 32 mile, 45 minute ride into one close to 60 miles and over 90 minutes. We made our way on the always fun Hwy 28 to Highlands, and another several miles on Hwy 64, which is one of my favorites. Thanks to Siri and Sue, a table was ready for us when we arrived. Also, when we arrived, there was OG Bob himself, along with the "usually in need of a real wash" Yamaha. It was good to see him back with the group. Our server was quite friendly and was trying very hard to stay organized. She took our drink requests and then followed up with our food orders. There were many different selections made and everyone seemed to like what they ordered. Our server did a great job staying organized, but things fell apart with a couple of mishaps with the bills, but no real damage done. Dan took us toward home by going back through Cashiers. According to our "local" Doug, we should always silence the "i" and say 'casherrs', which is a comment Dan had heard just this morning from another local. The ride back was at a good pace and very comfortable. It looked to me like everyone is ready to spend the next several months traversing the winding mountain roads. It was another great day on two wheels. Steve
