- I'm optimistic that Friday will be a good day to take a ride through the mountains. I plan on heading toward Rosman, NC, and ride a mountain road, or two, before making our way home. We'll make a pit stop after an hour, or so, and should be home a little after noon. If a non-breakfast/lunch ride sounds good to you, we'll plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 9 am. Hope to see you there. Steve

| Let's Ride!! |
- It was a good day for a ride and the cooler temps in the mountains felt great. Joining me today were, Len, Gary, Rob, John (first time rider - welcome), and Steve G., who brought along his wife Carla. We rode familiar roads to connect with Hwy 178 for the ride to Rosman. We did have to watch for gravel/mud in some of the downhill curves due to the recent heavy rains, but no one had any real issues. We stopped at Jarrett Brothers gas station in Rosman for a short break. The restrooms were located in the parking lot and are commonly known as a "porta-potty." Maybe that helps reduce the spread of Corona Virus in the store, but surely there is a higher risk of who knows what from inside that little enclosure. After the stop, we continued north on Hwy 215 to Tanasee Gap Road to cut back west to Hwy 281. The weather was great, but there were a couple of large dark clouds as we rode back toward home. It always seems the last 10 miles down the mountain heat up very rapidly and today was no exception. Overall, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
