Friday 11/02/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Well darn, Mother Nature seems to have done it again by making it be wet on Friday.  I’m not planning a ride but if you insist on riding you should meet at the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM and select a destination and ride leader at that time.  Stay safe and dry.   Dan

Friday 10/26/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • It seems that Mother Nature has gotten the upper hand again since rain is likely, so I am not planning a ride this Friday.  Those who wish to ride regardless of the weather should meet at the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM Friday and select a destination and ride leader at that time.  Ride safe.    Dan

Friday 10/19/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • This Friday let’s head to the Flat Rock Wood Room for some lunch.  We can make our way up via Devil’s Fork and Tuxedo then scoot on home through Dupont SF and Ceasars Head SP.  If you would like to join us let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.     Dan
  • Fall has definitely arrived and the cool temperatures were welcome.  Hard to believe only a few days ago it was in the 80's and felt like August with the humidity.  The temps and destination brought out a lot of riders for the ride.  Along with Dan were Rob, Pat, Bill, Len, Lincoln, Ray, Steve G., me, David, Gary, Lesley, Ed, and Neal.  The ride was very comfortable, although by the time we arrived, the cold was beginning to make its way through my leather.  Dan picked another great route through Pickens and Greenville counties as we made our way into North Carolina.  Len split off near Cleveland for some fuel, but fell right back in line as we started north on Hwy 25.  It's a good thing Sue called ahead as the restaurant was pretty crowded.  Many of us had to park around the side or back of the restaurant.  The food is always interesting and great here and today was no exception.  Barbecue in various forms was quite popular as we settled in for lunch in our own room set us just for us.  After lunch, a few riders took a more direct route home or headed off to take care of some errands.  Dan led the rest of us on a nice route past Dupont and Caesars Head and south on Hwy 276.  By the time we stopped for gas, the large group had dwindled to three.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.     Steve

Friday 10/12/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • The man says Hurricane Michael will be gone by Friday and cooler weather is coming so I plan to get back on our lunch schedule and plan a ride to the Mountain Man Grill in Dillard, GA by way of Highlands.  That way we can make our way back via Warwoman Road.  If you would like to join us let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday.  Hope you can make it.   Dan

Friday 10/05/18 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Since Mother Nature is keeping the heat on and giving us another chance at doing breakfast I hope to take advantage and plan another breakfast ride to The Zookeeper Bistro in Cashiers, NC.  After breakfast, for those that wish to ride some more, I plan to head towards Highlands taking Buck Creek to 28, Walnut Creek back to 107 and then on home.  If you would like to join me, let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 8:30 AM.  Hope to see you then   Dan
  • It was another great day to head out for a breakfast as fall is taking its time to arrive.  Those joining Dan included Len, Russ, Ray, Denny (busy summer - making his summer visit in October..), Steve G., Terry, Me, Bill, Neil, Gary, Ed. Again, thanks to Siri and Sue, tables awaited us and we were served promptly.  They always have great breakfast food and today was no different.  After breakfast, most of us followed Dan on a route that took us north into the mountains and then back by Lake Glenville, always a great view.  Once again, it was another great day on two wheels.   Steve
