- As I'm sitting here listening to the rain, I'm optimistic the Friday forecast for dry and cool weather will come true. I thought I would ride over to Clarksville, GA, for some lunch at The Attic restaurant. We'll leave the Key Mart parking area at 10:30 am. Hope to see you there. Steve
- The forecasters got it right. It was a gorgeous fall day and perfect for a ride to Clarkesville. There were six riders including me. The other riders were Ray, Lesley, Gary, Dan, and Neil. It was nice to have the sun as it was a little cool as we made our way into Georgia. Traffic was light and we enjoyed the country scenery. Parking can be a problem at The Attic, but we were able to squeeze in a couple of spaces in the rear of the building. Dan remembered that it was okay to use the rear entrance to get into the restaurant. Thanks to a call ahead by Paulette, they were expecting us and had a table ready. The server told us we couldn't go wrong if we got the Philly steak or rueben sandwiches. The rueben was the most popular choice and I got their outstanding roasted red pepper bisque. It's been a while since I was there, but the food was as good as I remembered. For the ride home, I decided to head north on Hwy 197. I love this road and a cool fall day is perfect for this route. In the summer, the "tar snakes" can get a little slippery when the hot Georgia sun beats down. The colors were outstanding and we had a nice view of Lake Burton as we approached Hwy 76. This took us through Clayton as we continued homeward and it made for a great after lunch ride. Even with the cool temperatures, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
