Friday 05/31/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • I think a breakfast ride will work this Friday. So, I thought I would head to the Clayton Café in Clayton, Ga. Like last Friday, it will be a pretty direct ride there, but for those interested, we can take a long ride back and be home by 12:30. If that sounds good to you, we'll plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 8:30 am, this Friday. Hope to see you there.       Steve

  • It was clearly a great day for a breakfast ride as there were 13 riders joining me for the ride to Clayton.  Those joining me were Rob, Neil, Bill, Pat, Steve G., Kevin (a first time rider who will be heading to Canada for a few months), Charlie, Gary, Terry, Harve, Tom, Lincoln, and Ray.  It was a perfect day for a cool ride up the mountain.  We took some familiar roads so we could get to our breakfast destination in an hour.  There was not much traffic, but on Cassidy Bridge Road some power line guys entirely blocked our lane, on a hill, and just past a curve - thanks a lot!  It was an otherwise uneventful ride.  Thanks to a call ahead by Paulette, they had us all set up in the back room.  At first, getting to the back, you think they're taking you to do dishes or to cook your own meal.  We did have a great server, one we've had before, and she took good care of us.  Ray was so impressed with the chicken/waffle combo the last time we were there, he got it again.  I'm going to try that next time.  After a leisurely breakfast, some of the group took a more direct route home, or rode the always fun Warwoman Road.  Three riders followed me as we went north toward Dillard, and then headed east, driving through Highlands and Cashiers.  The temperature was definitely rising as we made our way down the mountain on Hwy 130.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.    Steve
