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!

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.

I hope that this finds you all in good health and good humor and that you have still been able to get out and ride safely on occasion. I have managed to get out and ride a few times on my own for short rides and a few times with a neighbor as well. It certainly does wonders for my outlook on life a...

Lyle, I just noticed your post this morning and I just wanted to say hi! I’m glad you are still riding and am glad you and Loyal are hanging out occasionally. I was terribly sorry to hear of the passing of Loyal’s wife. The current circumstance of which we are all under threat is truly tragic and ce...

I apologize for not posting earlier but some technical website issues have kept us from posting since July 4. It has been repaired now and should be working again. Many thanks to Jerry for his diligence and expertise in keeping our website operational. Swanee and I have spent considerable time in d...

We were sorry to learn of the passing of Bennie Campbell this week. Graveside services in Ottawa will be announced at a later date. Our thoughts and well wishes go out to Bennie’s family. http://www.romeoriders.com/forums/download/file.php?id=31718&mode=view https://www.dengelmortuary.com/obitu...

Also sorry to hear about your situation. Eastern Kansas is not riding next week either. As I see people gathering as if we’re back to normal it really worries me especially since our age group is really at risk. And if we’re all gathered together weekly it could be very risky. I do hope you all get ...
