Friday 08/23/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,

• The forecast for Friday looks great for a ride, unfortunately I only have time for a short one.  Anyway, I was thinking of heading to Sunny Side Cafe in Clemson for breakfast and heading pretty much straight back after that.  I am sure that someone will volunteer to lead a longer route back if some of the group is interested.  
  
  
  If this sounds like a good start to your Friday, plan to meet at the Key Mart, with kickstands up at 8:30.    Gary

Friday 08/16/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,

• Friday looks like it will be dry and hot, so I though we would head up to Blue Bike Cafe in Highlands, NC for breakfast.  It should be a little cooler there and I believe this will be a new venue for us to try.  If this sounds good to you, we will leave from the Key Mart at 8:30.    Gary

Blue Bike Cafe (Facebook page)

• Today we had eight riders.  Perfect day for a ride up to Highlands, via Cashiers and back via route 28.  We had mixed reviews on Blue Bike Cafe.  Limited Parking and the fact the Health Inspector was in the kitchen, may have caused some confusion by the staff, and they mixed a couple orders up.  Most said food was great, but not those who ordered the Hash (not crisp and salty).   Anyway, we may want to give them another chance and just park across the street, or maybe not.     Gary

Friday 08/09/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,

• Hi guys, with Steve and Dan unavailable this week, it is time to lower expectations 😎.  Anyway, I was thinking about breakfast at Village Inn in Pickens.  After breakfast, we can take 178 up to Rosman NC, and across 64 back past Whitewater Falls toward home (or we could take a longer ride up 215, if there is enough interest).  I do not think the group has been to Village Inn before and I thought it was close and we would give a try.  If that sounds good to you, let's meet at Key Mart at 8:30.  Anyone wanting to meet us at Village Inn, we should be there about 9:00, just let me know, so we get a good count.     Gary

Village Inn Pickens

• On Friday, August 9 we had 9 riders head over to the Village Inn, in Pickens for breakfast.  Friendly service, nice reasonable priced menu, and a very good breakfast.  All riders, felt we should return to the Village Inn on future rides.  After breakfast, we headed up 178 to Rosman NC, then across 64 to 281 past Whitewater Falls and back home.  Great day to be riding.   Gary

motorcycle riding is not a good idea.
