Friday 07/03/20 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • I think Friday looks like a good day for a ride.  I plan to ride near Saluda, NC, and return home between 12 - 12:30, before the temperatures get too ridiculous.  We'll make a pit stop along the way.  If you're up for a non-breakfast/lunch ride, we'll leave the Key Mart parking area at 9 am.  Hope to see you there.   Steve

  • It was indeed a great day for a motorcycle ride.  Joining me today were Dan, Len, David D., Russ, Jeff and spouse Sue.  The heat was already starting to build as we pulled away from Key Mart so our perforated riding gear could start working.  Len warned that Hwy 183 was closed, and I knew we were headed that way.  He said it was open to Concord Church Road, which was where I was headed.  We passed along many familiar roads as we motored along in Pickens County.  We made a planned pit stop at the Sunoco in Cleveland, SC, next to the infamous Burly BIlls BBQ. An accident had just occurred at one entrance, but did not effect us and did not involve a motorcycle - yea!  After the brief stop we proceeded to River Road to head toward the scenic Greenville Watershed area.  The road surfaces on Old Hwy 25 can be pretty rough, but didn't seem as bad today.  We made a left onto Hwy 176 in Saluda and proceeded to New Hwy 25 for the return trip.  There were definitely a lot of boats on trailers, motorcycles, and tourists out to start the holiday weekend celebration.  With the heavy traffic and the quickly increasing heat, it was good we were going to be home around noon.  Overall, it was another great day on two wheels.   Steve
