Awesome day to ride.
Seventy deg out when we left, mid eighties upon our return. KAL has a girls’ quilt retreat in that area
going on, so Chief put together a ride out that direction. We’d head down past Emory then turn eastwardly
up 2 lanes towards the lake.
Seventy-five miles later we’d pull up for a quick hello with the ladies,
then rallied around the lake to the North side to have lunch at The Cove. Really nice place, great outdoor area, good
service, interesting menu (lil pricey).
Overall, not bad. We decided on
3.5 out of 5 stars for it. Would I
return? Yes! Ride rocked, and this place
is ‘country nice.’
Ride back was a nice as the ride there, taking a slight
different route, cutting through Lake Fort via a few bridges. About 150 miles total, we’re home.
Gotta tell you …. we had a few close ones today. Within the first 30 minutes, we had two close
calls on Hwy 69 with the oncoming traffic.
The first one, an SUV crossed over the line and almost clipped the Chief
and I (Dutch was 2nd, so further right). I glanced down for a sec
and when looking back up Chief had moved over and the SUV was over the yellow
within a couple of inches of my left leg as I jerked to the right. Fuck that was close. I don’t know if they were on a phone, drunk,
eating or trying to kill us intentionally.
Soon afterward a car was weaving in their lane almost coming into
ours. Thirty minutes later a truck was
coming down the center towards Chief, getting in their own lane at the last
second. WTF? Triple close calls… we rarely have a single
one.
Have to admit, was nice to get off the bike in one piece
today. Lil too close for comfort.
