 Hijack Ride
Today Steve and I set out to ride to Travelers Rest, over Paris Mountain, and back home. That would have been a 25 mile ride with some pretty good climbing. We met at Cleveland Park and Ken and Don came along as well. Just north of Furman we got wound up with the Momentum Riding Club that we rode for on Monday. There were close to 10 kids riding with about 4 adults. They were having a time riding up the trail. I hijacked the ride to include riding out and over Tubbs Mountain before doing Paris Mountian. That got us out of the Momentum tangle at the cemetery north of TR as we headed out my route to Tubbs Mountain. We had just gone over the top of Tubbs Mountain when we met Jonathan P and a friend coming up that side. We rode down Tubbs which is where Don hijacked the ride to cut across the county toward Tigerville. We rode to Tigerville Road and 290 to a place called the Hungry Drover. We went in for a late breakfast. I had a tomato pie and a bowl of grits with sweet tea. It was really good. None of us had been there before, but Don had seen it and wanted to give it a try. It is in teh middle of nowhere, but it is very good. We took Tigerville Road back to Travelers Rest and headed back down the trail. In TR went got tangled up with the Momentum group going back down the trail. We rode in and out of that group until we got to the Swamp Rabbit Cafe where Steve wanted a cup of tea, so we went in for a snack. I had my normal oatberry shortbread and a glass of sweet tea. We rode on down the trail where Ken and Steve put their bikes in Steve's car while Don and I headed to our respective homes. I ended up at just under 45 miles I was a fun ride and somehow we avoided Paris Mountain.
