- Apparently, summer is ignoring the calendar and sticking around, keeping afternoon temps in the 90's. It seems like a cool breakfast ride is still a good choice for this Friday. I thought I would head to Travelers Rest for some breakfast at Upcountry Provisions. If you want to join me, we'll leave the Key Mart parking area at 8:30 am. Hope to see you there. Steve
- Seven riders joined me for the ride to Travelers Rest today. The other riders included Gary, Dan (Leader Emeritus - welcome back after a long absence), Charley A., Steve G., Harve, Ed, and Neil. It was another great fall/summer day in the Upstate as we proceeded on our route to TR via the back roads of Pickens and Greenville counties. The roads are definitely more rough than they were when I first started riding behind Dan eight years ago. The good part of this route is there is very little traffic as we made our way to the restaurant. Upcountry has very tasty food and some good looking baked goods, but you can't be in a hurry or expect diner size portions. The egg dishes are cooked in mini iron skillets and they do come out hot. We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather as ultimately, everyone's meal arrived. There was some confusion with Ed's order, but eventually it seemed to work out. After the leisurely breakfast, most riders took a more direct route home while Gary, Harve, and I headed north. We didn't go too far up the mountain, but we did have some nice curvey roads as we rode toward home. Overall, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
