Friday 07/30/21 Breakfast Ride

 Fellow Riders,

  • We're definitely in a heat wave, so going to breakfast at the Village Inn in Pickens seems like a cool way to start the day.  After breakfast, we can head for some cooler mountain temps and still get home before the roads start to melt.  If this sounds good to you, we'll leave the Tate Realty Office parking lot at 8:30 am.  Hope to see you there.   Steve

  • Ten riders, including me, came out for a short ride to breakfast in Pickens.  Joining me were Len, Dan and Atlanta Steve (welcome Steve), Rob, Gary, Rich, Terry, Ray, and first time rider Sam (welcome Sam).  Since last week we encountered several North Carolina road projects, I guess we couldn't be surprised that this week it was mowing day on Hwy 183, thanks to the Pickens County maintenance guys.  Nevertheless, we made it to our destination with a few grass clippings in some of the seats.  We were able to walk right in to the Pickens Inn and get one of the few tables already set up for 10 people.  It seems most of the riders had not been here and we were all impressed with the quick service and the very reasonable prices. I had the "2 2 2," which was perfect - two eggs, two strips of bacon, and to decent sized pancakes.  After a leisurely breakfast, I checked the radar.  There was still a menacing green blob north of us, so I took an alternate route that kept us south of Hwy 11 and dry.  It was an early return home, but another great day on two wheels.   Steve
