200 and some Ruddy Fries

The morning started out soooo nice for September in NWF Florida.  70’s for temps  lower humidity plus bonus Ken C found some nice Canopy Roads. Okay knitting time 9 Sandies and a guest, Skippy friend of Tommy and Kens and I.   We did 200  miles of simply beautiful roads, courtesy of Ken. Mission finally make it to Golden Rule Bar-B-Que in Andalusia AL. Ken took us on a fantastic route to include around the Courthouse square (always a favorite of mine).


Got to the Q Joint a bit early, Tommy let us test ride his Spyder with the newly installed Pedal Commander . The purpose of the gadget is to greatly improve throttle response on the Spyder. Boy Howdy does it ! the response is all most instant.  Even Skippy who drives a new GL1800, had to remark on the throttle control. Joe W thought the response was excellent but Joe could see his gas mileage  disappear. With that  would be tire usage that would shrink way down. But oh that sweet response on the throttle makes you have dreams of sugar plums.

 

Tony G took videos of the days ride, which you can find on our You Tube channel visit and subscribe to it also. Some of Tony’s shorts have over a thousand views !!!

 

Inside the Golden Rule they brought us house made pork rinds. Oh my, they  were so delicious, so good in fact I couldn’t finish my Bar-BN-Que plate cause I ate too many Rinds.

 Now Ruddy Fry’s explained, they are a French fry made the old fashioned way thinner skins on . In other words full of Yum.

 

 As we headed out from the restaurant, Ken casually mentioned Strawberry shortcake, what !   You could swear you could feel, through the earth, ears perk up. Ken took us to a spot in the road almost on the Florida line. No Shortcake but a nice helping of Strawberry yogurt .

 

On a side note  Bobby B, JoeJoe and Tony G DID get Strawberry shortcake, today. They stopped outside Baker FL to enjoy the delectable use of strawberry‘s in a shortcake.

 

As we left you could see ominous Clouds forming. Which JoeJoe likes to inform you with, I swear, a gleeful tone in his voice. JoeJoe is a retired Weather guy . So it was speculating where would it get us . Surprise ! we made it home dry. Well as dry as Florida humidity allows.   

Thanks Ken for the good Ride.
