Friday 09/20/19 Ride

Fellow Riders,
  • It looks like this Friday will be a good day to be on two wheels.  I thought I would head over to Pickens for breakfast at the Village Inn.  I missed it a few weeks ago when Gary led a ride and it sounds like a good spot.  If you're interested, let's plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 8:30 am.  Hope to see you there.    Steve
  • The weather for the last ride of "official" summer was nearly perfect.  Clear skies and cool temperatures were great and six riders and one cager joined me for the breakfast ride.  Those joining me included Gary, David D., Doug, Neil, Harve, Bill, and Pat (along with his dog) drove along in a car.  We took a back way through Pickens county to get to our destination.  After about 30 minutes we arrived and had a table waiting for us.  The server was very friendly and got us going with coffee right away.  The food arrived in pretty good time, although, the final two orders took a little longer.  They must be able to cook for six at a time, but not eight.  The food was very tasty, including my pecan waffle, and I didn't hear any complaints.  After lunch, Bill and Pat (Note - Pat did take his dog some well deserved leftovers for waiting patiently in the car) headed home and the rest of us made our way into the mountains via Hwys 8 and 276.  We did hit some construction on East Fork Road.  There was a portable stop light and they were working on a bridge.  The lane we had to use was gravel - ugh!.  Only Neil, on his trike, thought, what's the big deal.  Fortunately, it was a short bridge and we got back to riding.  We came back down Hwy 178 to get us back home.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.    Steve  
Okay, it wasn't this bad....
