Met Duffy Valkyrie, Keith GL1800, Mark ST1300 to ride at 10 sharp.
Actually Duffy managed to find us as he was a little late. If I hadn't taken a circuitous route at the beginning Duffy would have been on his own.
Lunch at the Cajun Depot in Ellijay. We've eaten here quite a few times and though the service can be a tad slow the food is always good.

We rode over Fort Mountain and unfortunately got stuck behind a couple of cars. The slower speed allowed for a bit of vista viewing.
A ride down an access road to a boat ramp for Carters Lake was a little gem. Posted speed of 30mph meant for a little restraint.
Took the group up to one of my favorite overlooks near Jasper, GA
Mark, Keith, Duffy
Then headed home with a stop at a deli in Ball Ground to pick up some brats and smoked sausage.
