I wasn't looking forward to the 135 mile to Madison because I just knew it was going to be hot. Mother Nature sure threw us a curve ball last Wednesday as it was cool and overcast all day. It didn't start warming up until I was almost home and the cloud cover disappeared.
Madison is a nice little South East Kansas down halfway between Opie and Hamilton just off on state hwy 99. The cafe had recently opened up and was glad for the business the 32 motorcycles brought in. Nothing unique in the menu but the service was excellent and the food good small town fare.
An old friend from my school days in Galva showed up from Iola. He recently returned to riding with his brand new Vulcan. We had a nice visit and vowed to do it again as soon as I heal up from back surgery on Aug 6th.
Several of us stopped by the Council Grove Dairy Queen for the now obligatory ice cream before heading west to home. I lead coming and going and didn't get us lost once
Didn't even have my GPS.
It was a good motorcycle day and my last one for a while.
I know people in Madison were tickled to have you here and hope you come back! I wish I'd known about it, I'd have come down to see your bikes. (I'm just a couple of blocks or so from the diner.)
