ROMEOS

Leo, I have not initiated a collection this year as I believe I have enough carryover to fund this year without one. Our expenses were down during the Covid year so that allowed us a little break. However after I work with Jerry to pay expenses at the end of the year we will be tapped out and will n...

Roger, I enjoy following your rides from afar. You have some fantastic riding opportunities in your area. Looks like this was a great one. BTW, I recently switched from Sena and bought a Packtalk Bold and really like it. But even with the mesh network I think I’m a still a bit “out of range” for a ...

Thank you Randy for your years of service to the ROMEO organization. You have been a steady hand on the wheel for years and have provided many hours of great riding and fellowship for so many. I will still enjoy visiting with you every week and trust that you will continue to participate in rides f...

If you check out the ride report for August 22, 2018 you will see the last Eastern Kansas ride to Paolucci’s. The ride was originally scheduled for The Slippery Pig in Effingham but when we arrived that morning we discovered that the darned Kansas”revenuers”had raided the place the day before and s...

A quick rummage through the ol’ memory bank (and also a search through the ROMEO archives) would reveal that this would be our 10th visit to Four Corners for lunch in the last few years! But aside from that, everything else in your post is right on target! Great food, great location, great weather,...

A little different from the views from the Flint Hills, but in some ways just the same!

Bump to top

I am pleased to announce that we have a brave soul that has agreed to assume the ride coordinator position for the near future. Al Hayes has generously offered to step up and schedule rides with Swanee‘s assistance as usual. You should expect to see a post within the next week or so announcing the ...

Well, it's about time! We stopped meeting for lunch on March 18 last year, Swanee tried to give it a go in June but the pandemic was just too much to overcome and ROMEO lunches were suspended for good at that point. Well, now that vaccinations are becoming the norm for folks our age and the world i...

I missed this email last week from Mike Herrmann who asked that I pass this information along: I just received an email from one of my work retiree's, who received it from another work guy: Apparently one of George's close neighbors had not seen him for a while, so he contacted the Belton Police De...

After what seems forever, it may be time to give a shot at resuming our weekly lunch rides. Since most of qualify for the”over 65 club” that makes us eligible for the vaccine and as local entities are increasingly reaching larger numbers of us, we can assume that many of us feel more comfortable in...

As the vaccination process rolls out in our area and more of us in the 65+ group (which certainly describes our group for the most part) acquire the required two doses, i would hope that this spring we could resume scheduling weekly lunches. According to all reputable sources, even though most peop...

Jerry, It’s nice to hear from you and good to get a personal perspective about the Texas situation. Also good to know that you have fared relatively well through the debacle. I have mulled over for several years about installing a Generac generator and this may spur me into following through. Fortu...

I appreciate your participation. Wish we could hear from others as well!

Radon, thanks for letting us know what you've been up to. Would love to hear from others about how you're doing!

Kai, I am so sorry to hear of your health challenges but hope your surgery went well yesterday. Best wishes for a successful and speedy recovery.

I wanted to take this opportunity to update everyone on the status of the website for 2021. As most of you know, there are costs associated with maintaining the website so that it functions properly and securely to protect everyone from internet mischief. Jerry M. is our webmaster and all-around we...

Well today was a day for a ride!! I decided that this day was too good to pass up so after my dental appointment this morning I headed home and backed the ol' bike out of the barn, blew off the dust and put on my gear. I rode up to Osky and Atchison and back through McLouth and headed over to Tonga...

That’s fine Gary.
