- I’m planning to chug on up to Cashiers, NC for some breakfast at the Randevu Restaurant. That way, those that wish to head straight back can, while my plan is to cruise around Glenville Lake before heading back. The chance for rain in the mountains increases significantly by noon, so we should easily be back by then. If you wish to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area by 8:30 AM. Hope to see you then. Dan
- The air was muggy today like it has been for many days in a row. This made it all the more enticing to head up the mountain to enjoy some cooler temperatures and the breeze we generate riding. The group of 14 riders included leader Dan, David, Len, Doug, Jeff, Russ, me, Bill, Mike, Ray, Lincoln (first time rider - another Michigander to boot..), OG Bob, Ed, and Bob B. Dan took us on the scenic route through Salem's eastern suburbs and then we headed north toward Hwy 64. The early morning sun and shadows are always a challenge on the winding Hwy 281. We made the western turn to get toward Cashiers so we could rendezvous with the Randevu. Unlike a lot of venues we visit, we actually were seated up front in the restaurant (thanks Sue), in full view of the other customers. We did behave and the server took our drink and food orders to get things going. The food came out in pretty good time and was very good. There's always someone that can't quite remember what they ordered, but that didn't stop Ed from sampling Bill's bacon and wondering why they didn't bring his sourdough toast. When his order did come out, Ed immediately took that one, and thanked Bill for the bacon. In the meantime, Bill's over easy eggs had chilled to the point where they didn't taste good. Oh well, another first world problem we had to deal with. The ride home saw a few take a direct route and a few of us continued on down Hwy 107 instead of turning onto Wigginton Road. The photo below is from Bob B., who organized the group and got Marina, the chef's wife, to take the picture. It's missing OG Bob, Ed, and Ray, but at least most of the group is there. Overall, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
