Friday 09/28/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • We may be able to get one more breakfast ride in if the roads can be dry enough.  Weather permitting, I plan to ride on down to the Farm Café, in Tokeena, which is half way between Seneca and Fair Play.  Should we get that far I plan to make my way back home through Westminster and Seneca.  If it is raining or the roads are too wet, you won’t see me out riding.  So let’s hope for a dry spell and we can leave the Key Mart parking area about 8:30 AM.  Stay safe and dry.     Dan 

  • Seven riders came out today for another breakfast ride.  After a pretty wet week, it seemed like a good idea to get out on the bikes for breakfast.  Those joining Dan included Lesley (up from the coast, and glad Florence didn't pay a visit to Hilton Head), Len, Ray (back from his Guiness tour of Ireland) , Russ, me, and OG Bob. Given there's a limited time before all the riders get too hungry, we took a somewhat direct route (by Dan's standards) and arrived around 9:15.  Thanks to Siri and Sue, a table was set up for us when we walked in.  Our server took drink orders right away and after we all had a look at the menu she got our food orders as well.  This cafe definitely isn't a fast food place and definitely works on country time.  It was over 30 minutes by the time we got our food.  The food was pretty good, which made the wait worth it, after all.  The servers were constantly there to refill coffee, and even the cook came around to make sure it all tasted great.  As we were leaving, OG Bob bid us adieu for the next month as heads to the coast for the annual pilgrimage to Hilton Head.  Dan did a fantastic job taking us on a long and winding route home.  It felt great to be out on the road on the motorcycle after a couple weeks.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.     Steve
