What a great week it has been. Tim and I went to South Dakota for the 4th of July Weekend to visit friends. We did some riding while we were there, saw a lot of corn and a lot of bikes. We could not have asked for better riding weather. It was great to get away and relax with good friends. Thanks Jim and Thea!
Today, Sunday, we went on our monthly Sunday ride. We decided to attempt the Ferry Boat Run again and I must say this time it turned out to be a success. The rain tried to keep us from this ride again, but by 10AM it had moved east and just kept the humity high. Carol told me we should just do the ride whether it rains or not as that is why we all have rain gear. We headed south on Hwy 125 with 14 bikes, 23 riders. Some had been on the route before and some had not. I think going down 125 then to H hwy through the Mark Twain National Forest is one of the most beautiful rides and as everyone who has done it will tell you, it has some of the best twisties in the area. We ate lunch at Danna's BBQ in Forsyth. Danna's has quickly become one of our favorite places to stop. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, the staff is super friendly, but most of all they are QUICK! After lunch we headed on down Hwy 125 to the Peels Ferry to cross Bull Shoals lake into Arkansas. T
his is always fun, but today the temps were close to 100 so it would have been fun to take a dip to cool off. Thanks to everyone who went with us today, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Thanks to Bud and Carol for being tailgunners, it made it easy to know we had everyone in the group when the roads straightened back out.
Our weekly Thursday night bike night, once again, had a great turnout. We cooked outside, but ate inside since temperatures were in the low 90's. This has quickly become my favorite night of the week as it gives me a chance to take the time to visit with everyone in a relaxed atmosphere. If you have yet to attend, you are missing a great time with a great group of riders. Not only do we cook hot dogs and sometimes burgers, but Pineapple Whip is available in the parking lot as well as Coffee Avenue with excellent fruit and coffee smoothies!
Saturday we had a 'Birthday Party' at the store to celebrate the July birthdays of America, Victory, Tim, Sharon, Bud, Dave, Jim and many of our other customers. If you missed the opportunity to 'celebrate' with us and have some cake, watch for a simular event in August.
