Audie knew about these folks trying to help the Vets and posted a message.. a couple of us decided to ride with him up to and just over the hill on 17 and do a visit. This is in connection with his new job at the VA Hospital, and it turns out I know the guy that put on the event, Hi or Smoky his 'nic.
He is the brother in law of the guy in Los Gatos with dementia that was lost and found in a creek, you might have read about it in the paper. He was passing out flayers trying to find him while he was lost!
Audie will put out a note later about a ride up to the VA Hospital in November. They'd like us to take some bikes up and entertain the folks, sounds like a great ride for ALR!
We met at 564, Audie, Cheryl, Slick John and I... I let them ogle my new sweet Ruby!!! GBG Notice that Cheryl is in the drivers seat! OK, she was sitting back but I like the drivers license holder... it says SHHHHH, He thinks it's his! I like that!
We get to the place and the timing was perfect! 17 was just starting to clog as we turned off!
I want you all to know, you missed a gem! This place is just great! The restaurant just reopened, I think, and the folks are fantastic! Very gracious service! And when I heard that the BBQ was done... OK, I errored... I did NOT take my PB+J sandwich that I normally carry...
The burger I got was very large, and all the toppings and potato salad for 5 bucks! And it was just great!
This is for my wife! NO I did NOT leave the potato salad alone!!!! GBG
Caught a pic of Audie by a vintage car.
My new to me sweet Ruby II, Hench to be known as Ruby!
This is Smokey's wife, Audie, Smoky, Cheryl and Slick John.
Later I went out back..... they have a patio to drool over!
A nice waterfall spraying!
Lots of outside seating... I know I took a pic over by the edge of the patio out over the hills, but I guess I didn't hit the shutter button... A very nice place! The weather was gorgeous, this would be a GREAT place to come when the weather is good!
This car won my vote, as I loved the Duke's of Hazard! GBG
Real nice and the speedo went to 150 and I'll bet it would do it!
The rest of the cars are in the pics below... one of the motor was a 427 in Cobra.. That thing will do 0-60 in 3.3 sec.. that will sit you back in your seat!
I wanted to show all the cars, they were all great! I liked the old 53 Merc! That was Slick John's fave, he used to cruse in one!
Thank you Audie for a great day! It was a real treat! I ate one of them burgers and got back in time to finish off my weekly 100 miles with a 16 mile crank! It was a very nice day!
Folks, you missed a great short ride! Cranky
