The Ride to our Breakfast Meeting It was a cool and wet morning when five riders (Phil, Ron, Chris and Derek and Shaun) left their perspective residences to head to the Atherley Diner in Atherley for a meet and breakfast. Three set out from the Newmarket area, one from around Angus and one, Shaun, from somewhere south of the middle of nowhere Ontario.Our First rendezvous was in the parking lot of the Cottage Canoe where the three of us from the Newmarket area (Ron Chris and I) met up with Derek and then it was the backroads to Orillia. By this time, the rain had completely let up and the temperature had climbed a few degrees so it was a dry and comfortable ride along the Old Barrie Road to Highway 12 and then finally stopping at the Atherley Diner just before 10am.As usual, Dave and Waverley beat everyone to the restaurant and greeted us all with hunger and a smile on their faces. For those who have never been to the Atherley Diner, it's a medium sized family-run place just north of the intersection of Atherley Road and Highway 12. Fare is your typical diner grub, lots of good tasting food that is also reasonably priced. A short time after we arrived and were enjoying tea and coffee, our last rider (the guy from nowhere) arrived and joined us for breakfast. Shaun was/is a member from Port Perry area and will be joining our Chapter. The seven of us enjoyed both the food and company and about forty-five minutes later we got on our bikes and headed to the Bancroft Brew Pub. Or did we. No, we didn’tClick here to read the entire story
