Low Country Boil Chapter Social

On September 20 the Chapter and guests met at Eddie Richter's home for our Low Country Boil.

The day started early with Eddie, Bill, Trent and I meeting at Eddie's for an excellent breakfast prepared by our master chef, followed by event preparations. If you were not there, you missed an excellent breakfast.

Guests began arriving for the main event at 4:00 p.m. We all enjoyed a few beverages and good conversation while Eddie and Larue Richter slaved over the the dinner pot. About 5:30, Gregg and Mark pulled the food out of the pot and poured it out onto the table, ready for consumption - crayfish, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn all cooked together. Check here for the pictures provided by Boyd!

After everyone had eaten their fill, the conversation, conviviality, and beverage consumption continued well into the evening.

I had a great time, as did everyone else. I want to extend my thanks to Eddie and Doc for their hard work on our behalf. Be sure you all thank them in person when the opportunity presents itself.

Bill will be putting some info. on his blog, too.  Check the link for the Navigator's Rides to the right.

September Ride to Nowhere

Before yesterday's ride I was frequently asked. "Where are we going this week?" I had a hard time answering because it was not a destination ride. Rather, it was just a big double loop ride on some of my favorite roads to the north and south of Plant City. The idea was to not get too far from home, allowing people the opportunity to ride as far or as short as they chose. It all started with breakfast for 10 at Snellgroves. Then we were off through Mt. Enon, Galloway, Kathleen, Socrum, Branchborough, Vitis, Zephyrhills, Crystal Springs, Moriczville, Lake Thonotosassa, Turkey Creek, Pinecrest, Welcome, Keysville, Hopewell, Winston, and Lakeland. I think the plan worked well with people dropping out at various points along the route. Only 3 of us made it all the way to Lakeland. I plan on doing similar rides on the first Saturday of each month.
