Friday 07/24/20 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • I'm planning to ride Friday, but I'm keeping an eye on the weather before deciding on a final route.  The mountains seem a little risky, but I think we all enjoy the cooler temps at the higher elevations.  If the weather deteriorates, I'll send an email out at 8 am, Friday morning. I'm thinking we can get a ride in, just not sure were it's going to be.  If that's acceptable to you, we'll leave the Key Mart parking area at 9 am.  Hope to see you there.   Steve

Okay, so where we goin'?
  • The weather cooperated and there were six of us that came out for a ride.  The other riders joining me were Dan, Len, Russ, Gary, and Terry.  I had a route that would head for Clarkesville, GA, and loop back through Toccoa, GA.  The weather was looking pretty good, so when we made our pit stop at Hwy 17 and Hwy 441, I took Len's suggestion and decided that once we got to Clarkesville, we would head north on the curvy and fun to ride Hwy 197 toward Lake Burton.  This is always a favorite road with lots of curves that aren't too tight, and many vistas of the valleys and mountains.  It is always good too see the very scenic Lake Burton.  We made the turn toward home on Hwy 76, and drove through Clayton.  The temperatures were definitely starting to rise by the time we stopped for gas in Walhalla.  We were home by 12:30 pm, and it was another great day on two wheels.   Steve
