- With the forecast indicating a sunny and cooler day this Friday, I thought I would ride to Side Street Pizza & Pasta for lunch. The ride to Tryon, NC should be a good one, although not as curvy as our ride last Friday. If this sounds good to you, we'll plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 10:30 am. Hope to see you there. Steve
- It was indeed another great day for a ride. Although the temps were a little cool, sticking to many open back roads kept the sun on our backs. Those joining me today included Gary, Charley A., Jeff, Harve, and Neil. We took familiar back roads to get to Tryon and enjoyed the country setting on such a sunny day. When we arrived at Side Street, I thought the parking lot was quite empty compared to how it has been on many previous visits. The small hand written sign on the front door told us why - "we hope to be open by 1 pm due to a water main break." This was confirmed as one of the employees rounded the corner and said they did have a water problem. I checked my phone, and sure enough, Paulette had tried to let me know it was not open, but the blue tooth was turned off on my phone. I decided to go another couple of blocks and try Huckleberry's for lunch. We all managed to find parking and they were able to get us seated right away. Burgers seemed to be the favorite menu selection and the food was very good. This turned out to be a good plan B. For the ride home, we took Hwy 176 through Saluda and then rode through the Greenville Watershed. David D. will not feel bad he missed this route. The road surface is still pretty rugged, but it is a scenic ride. There was an abundance of bicyclists out today getting their miles in. The temperature continued to climb and it was a very comfortable ride home. Overall, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
