Fellow Riders,
- We seem to be in a great fall weather pattern and I plan to ride this Friday. It looks like some fog may hang around in the higher elevations, so I thought I would stay in the lower elevations and head toward Clayton. If you're up for a non-breakfast/lunch ride, let's plan on leaving the Key Mart parking area at 9 am. Hope to see you there. Steve
- The skies looked a little suspect and radar had indicated some rain passed through Clayton earlier, but we still had seven riders today. Those joining me included Dan, Gary, John, Terry, Neil, and Bob B. I was getting more nervous about rain as we made our way west and the clouds seemed to be growing darker the farther we went. I even had a few raindrops, or maybe drips from some overhanging trees, hit my windscreen. We kept going and ultimately got onto Unity Church road to get back to Hwy 76. After a stop at the Marathon Station in Long Creek, a couple of riders headed back toward home and some errands. The rest of us continued toward Clayton and veered left onto Seed Tick Road, which had some tricky hazards to navigate around - gravel in particular. It's a scenic ride when you go this way and end up coming into Clayton from the west. Of course, when you're in Clayton and want to head home, you really do have to take Warwoman Road. This time of year is always great for seeing some spectacular colors while enjoying the many curves. Overall, it was another great day on two wheels. Steve
