Our first ride since Star Days turned out to be a scorcher. The weather for the month of August has set heat records and today was one of those days. It was already pretty warm when we pulled out of AMW and headed north. Our destination was Elberton, GA and the Red Minnow Fish House. The turnout was decent with 9 bikes and 14 riders. Elberton is a couple hour ride and required a break about halfway for refreshment.

Once at the restaurant we were grateful for the cool air. This was a buffet style restaurant with lots of good homemade country style food. They had everything from fried chicken to fried shrimp and lots of good veggies. There was a large selection of deserts for those of us who had saved a little room. Of course I guess everyone could have followed one riders lead and had a huge mound of mashed potatoes and multiple slices of ham as desert. It was all washed down with several glasses of sweet and cold iced tea.

Once everyone managed to roll out the door and get back on the bikes we headed home. It was really hot now in the afternoon sun. The ride home was pretty uneventful other than the heat. We made a couple stops for liquid refreshment, but basically made a bee-line for home.
