- I’m planning to ride up to Cashiers, NC for some breakfast at the Randevu Restaurant. The forecast is not calling for rain but it will be in the 90s in the afternoon so maybe we can beat the heat. If you want to ride to breakfast let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area as usual about 8:30 AM. Hope to see you there. Dan
- It was a little humid and slightly overcast when 12 riders met at the Key Mart parking area for a ride to Cashiers. Dan led us through Salem and up the mountain. Unbeknownst to most of us, Steve G. was running a little late but was able to catch up with us in Salem, making a total of 13 riders for lunch. The ride up Hwy's 130 and 64 was a very comfortable and cool ride. We made good time getting to the restaurant, and thanks to Siri and Sue, a table was waiting for us. In addition, first time riders Lane and Ed joined us, bringing our total group to 15. The riders joining Dan for lunch included David D., Gary, Russ, me, Bill (Bill was called in from retirement to write an article about the 10th annual Honoring Their Service event at Keowee Key - click on this link), Pat, Terry, Ray, Mike, Ed and Lane (sp?), and Ed W., Steve G., and Neil. The restaurant was nice and we sat outside in the cool mountain air. They did a pretty good job, considering the size of our group, in getting our coffee and taking orders. For that many all at once, it did take a little while to get everyone served. It amazes me, almost weekly, how quickly most of us forget what we ordered by the time they bring out the food. I know that memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first. After the delicious breakfast, some riders took a more direct route home, while Dan took the rest of us on a little route around Cashiers before heading home. The temperature was rising as we made our way down the mountain and it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
