Beautiful Day Wraps Around Beautiful Ride

April 10th saw 13 BRT club members and 2 guests take advantage of the beautiful Sunday weather to enjoy a ride to Lake Lure and Larkin's On The Lake Restaurant. The ride departed from the Big Gun in Clyde and followed a route over parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Hickory Nut Gorge. The Gorge was packed with folks out enjoying the great Spring day. A constant stream of motorcycles kept the roads crowded.

MargaritaGrille looked as if it might have set a new record for "most bikers packed into one small place on Lake Lure." Both sides of the road were saturated with parked bikes. The next restaurant down was in about the same condition with bikes entering and departing every few seconds.

Larkin's was busy but not impossible to enter and the group enjoyed a good meal before heading back home via US 64 and I-26. At the rest stop on I-26, one curious young observer was finally coached by his Dad into sitting on Walter's bike. As we mounted up to leave, he was standing on the sidewalk waving goodbye to everyone.

Ron Johnson and Walter Noland were the Ride Captains for this ride, which was an accredited ride in the President's Bottle series of BRT club events.
