Nice day to get away for awhile.

Sign outside the door says it all.

What can I say, another beautiful Saturday of this amazing summer we're having. Jen and I took a nice ride up 68 where we spotted an old friend's bike in front of our buddy's shop. After a serious bull session, we followed Al back to his amazing log home that he built where we drank some beer made in North Versailles while we checked out his basement workshop. Al then told us that he and his wife Jane got married on his '68 shovel many moons ago, that bike is like a member of the family, I think he bought it from original owner in '71- '72? After our visit we headed in search of dinner which was found in East Brady. After a few cocktails and a really good meal, we rode on. We came across a bridge with a really nice view. We stopped and enjoyed the shade and view for awhile before heading in search of cold beverages, which we found in St. Petersburg at the Pine Inn. After some more great back roads, we found ourselves at one of my favorite spots -- the Landmark Hotel in Grove City. A true dive in every sense, I love this place. After awhile we decided to head for home with one more stop, Wooley Bullys. If you've never had the pizza, what are you waiting for! All in all another great day with my best friend and wife. There are great roads and great people out there, just get on your bike and pick a direction, not a destination. You cannot find anything from your couch!                                                                                         Posted by Doug.
