Friday 07/17/20 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • I thought this week I would head toward Lake Glenville and the bear east on Hwy 281.  We'll pass through Rosman, NC, on the way back.  I'll make a pit stop for those that need a break.  If a non-breakfast/lunch ride sounds good to you, we will leave the Key Mart parking area at 9 am.  Hope to see you there.    Steve

  • Another great day to ride.  Our large group of riders included Len, Dan, Russ, Gary, Charley A., Jeff and Sue, Dave Mc and wife Linda (welcome first time riders, Linda may ride her own Harley next time!), David D,. and Steve G.  As we made our way toward Cashiers, the mountains were looking relatively clear for this time of year. The turn from Wigington to Hwy 107 seems to be getting more treacherous every time we take this route.  The pot holes are getting wider and deeper and the surface of the road until you get to the North Carolina line is also rough.  However, the ride was nice and cooling as we proceeded north.  We made a stop in Tuckasegee for a short break.  We then turned on to Hwy 281 to follow the Tuckasegee River on a very scenic and curvy ride.  I changed my ambitious plan to make it to Hwy 215 to go toward Rosman and instead stayed on Hwy 281 to Toxaway.  It was a nice three hour ride.  The temps were rising rapidly as we came down the mountain and it was nice to be home by noon time to avoid more heat.  It was another great day on two wheels.    Steve
