- Now that the calendar and weather have finally aligned for fall, I think it's time to switch to lunch mode for the Friday ride. I thought I would head to Dillsboro, NC for lunch at Kostas Family Restaurant. This will make for a nice ride to gt some good Greek food. If this sounds like fun to you, we'll plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 10:30 am. Hope to see you there. Steve
- Today turned out to be a great fall day and perfect for a ride to Dillsboro. There were seven riders that came out for the ride. Joining me were Rob, Gary, Doug, Russ, Lincoln, and Neil. We headed north through Cashiers and then turned onto North Norton Road for some winding road riding. This was a warm up for the next segment which was driving on Cullowhee Mountain Road for some really serious twisties. I'm pretty sure this was the first route I took with Dan and the Friday riders. Having just moved from very flat and "non-curvy road' Michigan, I got a quick lesson in mountain riding. I can say that Cullowhee Mountain Road is every bit as, if not more, challenging than the Tail of the Dragon which Gary, Neil, and I rode a week ago. We continued the ride on Hwy 107 and connected with South River Road to get us to our destination. The Tuckasegee River was loaded with fishermen, probably more fishermen than trout. There may have been a tournament, or perhaps it was just because it was a perfect fall day, but I'm sure there were a lot of folks who called in sick so they could hit the river. We arrived at Kostas and with Paulette's call ahead, they had a section ready for us. Our server, who reminded us about a half dozen times, was named Brandi. After getting our drinks, she did not return. Another server arrived to take our food order, and the owner walks up and says he got us a better looking server, which seemed odd. When someone asked what happened to Brandi, the new server said "we had to send her home." Very strange. After a slightly long wait, we got our food and the gyro's were fantastic as usual. This is one of my favorite stops. After lunch we took the more direct route back on Hwy 107. Rob veered of onto Hwy 281 to take a longer and more winding route home. Overall, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
