Dew Drop Inn

Last night was Wedneday-Dinner Ride for our bike club and we went to a new location-The Dew Drop Inn located in Durant, Iowa.
For you history buffs, you may remember that another Dew Drop Inn was featured in the family show-The Waltons. In the 4th season, son Jason goes to work as a piano player at the local bar in town much to his mother and grandmother's dismay.




Patti and I rode our tandem on the ride last night. The club left Harper's Bike Shop at 6pm in Muscatine and since we live close to Durant, we parked there and started riding toward Muscatine and turned around at the half-way point. Some of the riders caught us about 5 miles out of Durant. It was a good night for riding as the humidity that has been a problem the last week tapered off and the temps were mild.


The Dew Drop Inn really wasn't prepared for our 20+ riders as they had one waitress and 1 cook, but surprisingly they put out the food at a reasonable pace. The food wasn't anything special, but hungry bikers usually aren't choosy.
