I have gotten so dang lazy with this blog that I hardly post anything anymore. For that reason I lifted Richard's RIDE REPORT from www.RomeoRiders.com/forums and shamelessly posted it here, with my own editing of course:
Lunch at Orozco's Cafe in Kanopolis, KS:
There were twenty eight that took advantage of the fine fall like weather this July day to arrive in Kanopolis for lunch. The Breakfast location for the South Central guys located in Arlington was only a short 60 or so miles away so Bill Wilson and Gibbo took advantage of it to 'hit' two ROMEO destinations today. There may have been others and some I talked to had considered it but just didn't follow through with the plan. I rather think a whole day of ROMEOing about seems like a very good way to spend a day especially when it was as nice as this one.
I'm still doing grand children duty so I wasn't able to go on for ice cream even though I considered it heavily. I heard that Freddies Frozen Custard over in Salina was the spot selected. Custard? I hear it's better than it sounds! I may break down and give it a try before passing judgement. But doesn't Ice Cream just have a better ring to it?
Multi wheeled bikes of all types seemed to be the center of attention today. A sidecar rig, a regular kind of tryke and an articulated wheeled Piaggio MP-3 kind of set the stage for unusual vehicles parked on the short main street of town.
It brought out some locals and kept some ROMEO's busy gawking while others were already cleaning their plate. Town history was a subject discussed with some locals and a few in our group that I talked with had never been here before even though they had resided in Kansas for quite a spell.
This is one of the finest ways to see the State yet devised as far as I can determine. Close up and personal and long enough to just 'sit-a-spell'.
Richard failed to mention that he got a surprise before lunch. Denny had been busy circulating a card for everyone to sign to thank Richard for his dedication, devotion of time and hard work in arranging the ROMEO lunch rides for many years. The card and small honorarium were little thanks for this weekly commitment so let's all remember to let him know how much we appreciate his work the next time we see him.
