Friday 02/21/20 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • In our continuing struggle to make peace with Mother Nature on Friday's, it looks like we may have another weather challenge day this Friday.  The forecasters are predicting a chance of black ice on Friday after some potential snow on Thursday.  I think I'll plan on going to Dimas Brothers in Seneca.  If the roads are okay, we'll take a route on sunny roads and leave the Key Mart parking area at 10:30 am.  If the roads are risky, I think we can just meet at Dimas Brothers at 11:30 am.  Look for an email Friday morning at 8:00 am to let you know what the plan is.  Hopefully, we'll get at least a short ride in and I'll see you at the Key Mart parking area, or at Dimas Brothers.   Steve
  • Update - It looks like main roads will be in good shape for a not so long ride to Dimas Brothers in Seneca.  If you agree, we'll leave the Key Mart parking area at 10:30 am.   Steve
  • The very sunny skies made the ride to Dimas Brothers Cafe comfortable.  The temperature was approaching 40 degrees as we left the Key Mart parking area.  Joining me for a cool ride were Neil, Steve G., Denny, Terry, and Kevin.  Ed showed up at the restaurant soon after we arrived.  The roads were in good shape, but you could see evidence on Hwy's 11 and 59, that they could have been slippery before sunrise.  We were seated at a couple of tables pushed together after convincing the server that six  sitting at a round table might be a little cramped.  They serve breakfast all day and that is what most people ordered.  The food is quite good and so was the service.  This place is quite popular and people were actually waiting to be seated by the time we left.  After finishing our meals, a couple of riders headed off to do some errands, and the others followed more for another hour of riding.  Although cool, it was a bright sunny day, making it another great day to be on two wheels.   Steve
The forecast had made me think this is how the ride would be.
