Bob Hoch

Greetings fellow riders, This is Robert Hoch II and I am composing this difficult note on behalf, and upon the request of Bob Hoch. My fellow riders and friends, I want to thank you for the memories and the pavement traveled alongside you all. I have fought the fight and have decided it is time to t...

Re: South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, October 26, 11:00 AM

So sorry to hear about Floyd's passing. He was the first to greet and welcome me to ROMEO nearly 10 years ago. A friendly smile that dearly will be missed.

Does anyone know if Arlington Rd is open all the way into town? Last time I had to make a big detour. Thanks.

Sorry, I will be missing ROMEO for awhile. I’m in Wesley CCU with a gallbladder attack that caused a slew of other problems. Hope to be back in the fall.

Re: South Central Breakfast Ride: Wednesday, August 10, 9:30 AM

Mostly sunny skies, cool temperatures, slight breeze and good roads made for a delightful ride to Ma's Cafe in Burden. The service was quick, food delicious (probably the best tasting biscuits I've ever had) and the price reasonable. The book didn't arrive until many of us had left, so I doubt there...

Re: South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, May 11, 11:00 AM

Summer-like temperatures, gusty breezes and kamikaze flying critters eager to mess up my windshield, accompanied nine ROMEOs to Gurty's Burgers in Newton today. Six bikes and a couple cars made the trip for a total of 180 miles and Gram Pankratz with high-miles award (52). As Bill McLean and Jim O'D...

Re: South Central Breakfast Ride: Wednesday, August 12, 9:00 AM

It was a cloudy, misty and foggy day, but that didn't discourage 16 ROMEO's from mounting their trusty steeds and rolling to Whitewater for breakfast at Mom's Cafe. Well, Mom's never disappoints! Service was quick and friendly, coffee mugs promptly refilled and the food was bountiful and delicious. ...

Re: South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, May 20, 11:00 AM

As longtime Wichita weatherman Bill McLean (and later Jim O'Donnell) used to say, "It was a Beeeautiful day in KAKEland" for a break-out-of-lockdown ROMEO ride! Cloudy skies, slight breeze and temps in the 60s. So while Charlie & Co. were roasting (100+ degree temps!) on the roads of T...

Re: South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, October 9, 11:00 AM

Inclement weather put a damper on attendance today. Thirteen determined ROMEO's showed up today at Copper Kettle in Eureka for what looked like excellent chow all around. Doesn't look like any one rode today, so mileage is moot. Even though Charlie was here (trip rain-out), he graciously let me do t...

More Than I Expected

Since joining this group a little more than six years ago, I've been keeping a spreadsheet of all the weekly rides we've done. Out of curiosity, I sorted the table first by destination and then by town, eliminating duplicates. To my surprise, we've been to 83 destinations in 64 towns in that time! T...

Re: South Central/North Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, September 11 , 11:00 AM

It was a warm and windy afternoon. For those ROMEOs who weren't galavanting around Arkansas, by my count, 33 showed up to Gurty's Burgers in Newton. There may have been more who didn't sign the book as late-comers just kept rolling in. If my ciphering is correct, they logged 1542 miles on 30 bikes. ...
