Weather looks good, time to stretch it out a little bit so let's hit an old favorite for a lot of us. They serve breakfast and lunch so you can pick but 10:30 is a good time if you can't decide. So breakfastbslunch is the plan for next Wednesday at:

Saddlerock Cafe
15 S. 6th
Council Grove, KS 66846
620.767.6411

Hope you can make the ride through the Flint Hills and enjoy some great food and company at the same time!

Gary has, or will soon have, a map up at the following link:

RIDE REPORT: July 5, Saddlerock Cafe, Council Grove, KS

As I was riding across Highway 56 through the Flint Hills this morning I thought to myself how lucky I was to be able to do this. It was a stunning day to ride, clear blue skies, a light breeze, cool, and the vegetation is so green and lush that it nearly takes your breath away. And apparently I wasn't alone. Although Hozer wasn't there today, Swanee made a SWAG count and we think there were between 70 and 80 ROMEOS that decided to ride to Council Grove today.

Although I wasn't aware of it until I arrived, it didn't take me long to figure out that the North Central ROMEO's had decided to join us and it was really fun to see a lot of those guys that we don't see as much as we'd like. Most places couldn't handle both groups hitting at the same time but the Saddlerock took it in stride. It helped that quite a few went in a bit early and had breakfast, but we still filled both the back room and the main dining room more than once before we got out of there around noon.

It was especially gratifying to see Shirley Wege join us. Considering her recent health scare, she looked great and seemed back to normal. Junior didn't look too bad either, all things considered!! I took a few photos mostly to give you an idea of who all attended, but I'm sure I missed a lot of people because they just kept coming.

At any rate, thanks to everyone who rode today. It turned out to be a great day to be a ROMEO!
