Wishing a laid-back New Year for all!
As an example, we rode ~75 miles to our traditional lunch @ Cumberland Falls State Park, only to find the restaurant closed for renovations. A park employee suggested a restaurant outside the park and up the interstate. So, after warming by their fireplace and a parking lot session with ~12 bikes that had assembled from all over, I led out. The directions given were perfect and as the manager saw our group pulling in, he was setting up a place for us (a mixture of HD, GoldWing, Spyder, and Slingshots). Had a great meal, conversations, and weather both ways was great for January 1st. Minor bump of ckosed restaurant ended up giving us another great place to eat! (BTW - David's Steakhouse exit 29 Corbin, Ky.)
So, take 2019 as it comes, and use everything as an opportunity!
