Friday 02/01/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • This Friday I plan to make my way to BJ’s Restaurant in Toccoa, GA for some lunch. If you would like to join me let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 am.  Hope you can make it.    Dan
  • The sun was shining and the temperature was slowly creeping above 40 degrees as nine riders met at the the Key Mart parking area for a ride to BJ's.  Coming along with Dan were Len, me, Ray, Neil, Gary, Terry, Kevin, and Ed.  BJ's in Toccoa is located southeast  of our starting location, so accordingly, Dan begins the ride by heading north.  It always amazes me how big Oconee County is and how Dan finds so many interesting roads for the group to ride on. We ultimately did begin a southeasterly direction on some familiar roads such as Ramsey Creek and Unity Church.  These roads have some great curves and ultimately cross the Tugaloo River as we enter Georgia.  There was not a big crowd when we arrived, but we did ask if we were to go to the back room where they usually sit us.  This time, they actually seated us in the main restaurant.  Apparently, we were a little less intimidating than usual.  Len got our waitress off to a good start by telling her she didn't look too happy, but she gave him a little grief back and equilibrium was established.  Our food and drinks came out in pretty good time and was tasty as usual.  For the ride home, Dan took the more direct route through Westminster and Walhalla.  By the time we got home, we were in the low 50's and the skies were still blue.  It was another great day on two wheels.    Steve
The bikes are enjoying the sun
