Ride to Tallulah Falls and then lunch at Clayton, Georgia. As great as the ride was, the butt was sore at the end of it.

Thanks for coming out – Avi, Rakesh and John!

100 mile ride and coffee with John and Avi this morning.

That was a 140 mile round trip today. Great ride in North Georgia with Phanindra, Rakesh, John and Ashok.

Went to Kaya Vineyards for lunch. We had the special honor of a Porsche being our sweep!! (Mahesh joined us in his car instead of bike). Great day for a bike ride with the Gears and Beers group!!

And that was all what I needed to take Phoenix out for a spin…

John, Tej and myself went around aimlessly on our bikes thru backroads and country roads in northern Georgia. Eventually, we landed up at Pelican Pete by Lake Lanier to grab a lunch. As we were having lunch, it started raining. Which kind of got us grounded till the rain Gods would co-operate.

The “Woodys” – husband wife team that was singing there saw our plight and announced on the mic – “We are now going to do an anti-rain song for the motorcycle dudes so that they can keep the shiny side up and the rubbery side down!” And they went on to sing a song. I do not listen to any English music – so I have no idea what they sang.

But sure enough, in the middle of the song, the rains held up – much to amusement of all the lunch-goers there. And did not come back. Made our ride back so much more enjoyable!!!
