- With the typical summer time forecast for this Friday, we'll keep the breakfast rides going. I thought I would head up to The Zookeeper Bistro in Cashiers. We should be able to meet Dan's target of 55 minutes and still ride through some curves and gain some elevation as well. If that sounds good to you, we'll leave the Key Mart parking area at 8:30. Hope to see you there. Steve
- Our ride on this Friday brought out our former fellow rider Lesley, who must have been practicing her hurricane evacuation route from Hilton Head. It was great to see her after a long absence. Other riders that came out for a ride up the cool mountain included Dan, Len, Gary, David D., Steve G., Russ, Lesley, Bill, Pat, and our two regular "sweeps" OG Bob and Ed. Given that morning hunger is a little stronger than lunch hunger, getting to the destination in under an hour is important. The good thing about a ride to Cashiers, is that you can get some nice curves, some good elevation, and usually a cool breeze as well, and be there in less than 60 minutes. Today was no exception. We arrived, and thanks to the call ahead by Paulette, they had a couple of tables ready for us. The service was pretty quick for a dozen guests showing up all at once, and the food was quite good as it usually is. After the relaxing breakfast, some riders decided to take a route to the east, and I led the remainder of the group west on Hwy 64 to Highlands. This road is one of my very favorites. We passed through Highlands without having to drive down the more crowded Main Street, and proceeded down the mountain. It was definitely warming up by the time we stopped in Walhalla to gas up. It was a fun ride on familiar roads, and was another great day on two wheels. Steve
