Jonas Ridge Outfitters has been open since October and managed to survive the Winter. It's time to celebrate with the Spring Open House on 19 April. Festivities will kick-off around 11:00 am. Tom has planned to have grille specials, the unveiling of the new T-Shirt design, and there will be a Live Band.
Bob Rehley is planning on leading a ride up there from Charlotte, with the usual stops along the way to gather more riders. I haven't seen the route plan yet, but will likely involve Old 18, 181, stop by the store, and then off into the wonderland of twisties.
The business has been doing better than we expected during the winter. We aren't getting rich, but Tom is having a blast and the locals really like the place. This summer should see some very heavy traffic there. We are still working on getting beer and wine. A cash machine is forthcoming, we have some riding gear, and there is an ice cream cooler in place (by popular demand).
Stop by, enjoy the band, get your picture taken to go up on the wall, maybe spend some money. I guess it's all good as long as Tom has fun. Check out the website:
