Ride Leader: Mike G.
Nice ride today. 6 bikes 8 riders, 162 miles.
Ken, Deb, Curt, Sue, Mark, Amanda, Cajun.
Destination, Lunch at Bob Evans, Rock Hill.
Saturday played weather games so we did a short notice
Sunday ride.
(Always check out the message board Friday and Saturday
nights for pickup rides if there is not a "calendar ride" planned.)
A beautiful day for a ride, a little cool if you don't
plan for wind chill at 60 MPH, else just great!
We left from our regular exit 82, back roads to Ridgeway
then Hwy 21 to Great Falls.
I figured few of us have actually gone into Great Falls
so we did a nice circle trip around town. The church crowds waved to us.
Stopped at the Shell there, a regular break stop.
Continued up 21 to Bob Evans, Rock Hill, where manager Mike had seats waiting
for 124 despite the crowd (thanks Deb & Ken).
The ride back was even better. We took Hwy 97 to Liberty
Hill but then, something new, took Hwy 522 then back roads through Kershaw
county. This gave us about 30 or so miles of twisties instead of 11. This
brought us to Hwy 521 above Camden, perfect alignment to go to Sonic. Carol
and Lea joined us for an hour of "debriefing".
Thanks all, a great ride again.
