Friday 04/24/2020 Ride

Fellow Riders,

• I feel like doing some "social distancing" on a motorcycle this Friday.  It looks like it will be another fine weather day for putting some miles on my motorcycle.  If you are up for a ride without a stop, lets plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 10 am.  We'll be back before lunchtime.  We'll be sure to practice social distancing when we meet up at Key Mart.    Steve

• Well the weather was pretty decent today for a ride.  I was amazed at how many riders came out for a no-food ride through the Upstate.  I'm not sure I saw everyone, but here are the folks I know came out - Dan, Len, Harve, Neil, Rob, Gary, Jeff (and his bride Sue), Ed (soon his Goldwing goes on the block for sale), Paul N., Bob D., David D., Terry, Russ, and me.  Sorry if I missed someone.  We took backroads and wound our way through Pickens county and into Greenville county.  We passed some of the tornado damage that occurred east of Pumpkin Town.  It looked quite bad in a couple of places, but much less damage than Seneca incurred.  Once we hit Marietta, we looped back and headed home.  It was a nice ride and worth about 75 clicks on the odometer.  It will be great when we can once again add breakfast or lunch to the ride.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.  Steve

Check, check, and check.

Fellow Riders,

Friday 04/10/2020 No Ride

Fellow Riders,

• As the COVID-19 crisis continues and the governor wants us to stay home, I won't be planning a ride for Friday.  We'd have hard time convincing a State Trooper we were taking the scenic route to Publix.  I hope everyone is staying healthy.  Looking forward to getting some nice rides in the near future.    Steve

Friday 04/03/2020 No Ride Planned

Fellow Riders,

• I'm not going to plan any rides for the next few weeks based on the COVID-19 crisis,  Both Georgia and North Carolina have issued stay at home orders for non-essential reasons, and South Carolina could do the same at any time.  I'm sure we all agree motorcycling is essential for good mental health, but the governors may not see it that way.  Some riders from last week suggested starting at an earlier time if there is a group ride that doesn't include stopping to eat.  The suggestion is to leave Key Mart at 8:30 am. So, if you're interested in riding as a group, I would go with the recommendation and plan to leave Key Mary at 8:30 am, after selecting a leader.  Stay safe at home and on the road.  Steve
