Picture: ROMEOs are the epitome of sartorial elegance.
Six ROMEOs on five bikes got an early start for lunch today, joining up at hwy #4 and Old 81 for the ride East to Dwight by way of Grandview Plaza. The plan was to ride what passes for twisties in this part of the country. Our first choice, Wolf Rd, was closed for repairs so we pushed on to plan B, 2400 Rd/Skiddy Rd. This nice little paved trail brought us to Stacy's at Grandview Plaza where we took a coffee and Cinnamon roll break about 10am.
After gassing up and riding past Marshall Field and Ft. Riley to get on Clark's Creek Rd for a curvy bimble South to our lunch destination of Dwight we noticed that we had lost a couple of riders. After spending 20 minutes back tracking and not finding them we concluded that they had decided on a different route so the three of us pushed on.
Finding a goodly number of ROMEOs, including our lost friends, parked under the shade of a large tree we joined them for the requisite tire kicking/BS session before lunch.
We all pretty much walked into the little cafe at the same time and I guess having 24 people at once threw them for a loop as service was slow. Seemed like they would bring out one meal at a time and people were getting up to leave before some of us had even ordered. Oh well, we are a laid back bunch and besides that the Cinnamon roll I had earlier was still in the system. Once I got by hamburger it was excellent. Richard's Double was only 50 cents more than the $3.00 single so he got a bargain.
It was starting to get pretty hot and windy so we didn't waste much time after lunch getting geared up for the 70 mile ride to Wendy's in Salina. The Frosty cooled me down and it was hard to climb back on the bike for the short ride to the house. Another good ROMEO day.
