Friday 05/24/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • Based on the projected 90+ degree temperatures forecast for Friday afternoon, I think an early breakfast ride is in order.  I plan to ride to The Zookeeper Bistro in Cashiers, NC.  After breakfast, for those interested, we can take a long route home by riding around Lake Glenville and head back via Highlands.  If that sounds good to you, we'll plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 8:30 am, Friday.  Hope to see you there.   Steve
 
  • Twelve riders came out for a breakfast ride to Cashiers.  The riders joining me included Gary, David D., Doug, Steve G., Harve, Russ, Bill, Pat, Terry, Ed, and OG Bob.  The temperature was nice and cool as we made our way up the mountain to The Zookeeper Bistro.  One thing many of us pointed out it is definitely time for some repaving on Hwy 107.  Even the NC portion is really deteriorating, but still not quite as bad as the SC portion.  When we arrived, tables were ready for us thanks to Paulette making the call ahead.  The servers were quick with water and coffee for us.  I think this is the only restaurant that uses an iPad to take orders and send them directly to the kitchen.  This way, unlike many other places we go to, the first orders come out first.  What a concept.  After a nice breakfast, some riders decided to head back to avoid the heat, or get ready for holiday company.  The rest of us made the trek north around Lake Glenville and continued to the west side of Highlands.  There were a lot of other bikers out today, especially along my favorite stretch of Hwy 64 along the Cullasaja River.  The temperature was rising quickly as we got to Walhalla for the final leg of the ride home.  It was another great day on two wheels.    Steve
Long route home
