South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, January 4, 11:00 AM

[roginoz]

This will be our first official ride of 2017. We'll keep riding all winter, but staying close to home for the next couple of months (unless we get a really good warm spell.)

Last Wednesday's unseasonably warm weather was a real treat, but it looks like we're getting back to winter in Kansas next week. Right now, the Weather Channel is calling for a high of twenty-nine next Wednesday, after a low of fifteen the night before. It's going to be a bit chilly at departure time.

We last visited Cy's, in Sedgwick, a little over a year ago. It's mostly thought of as a steak place, but they have a variety of other choices on the menu. The food is really good, and the staff likes to see us.

Sedgwick is only twenty-five miles from Wichita; you can take 125th west from I-135, or just head north on Ridge Road. It may be OK for riding if you want to bundle up, but it's also close enough to drive if you don't find the weather to your liking.

Cy's doesn't open until 11:00 AM, so if you arrive too early you may wind up cooling your heels (and every other body part) on the sidewalk.

It was mainly Retired Old Motorists Eating Out today. When Brian says it's too cold to ride, I figure it really is too cold to ride. One stalwart soul (Ron) braved the cold to ride the twenty-two miles from Moundridge; his excuse was that he needed some break-in miles on the new engine...

We had twenty-six people, including a few ladies improving the overall looks of the group, arrive at Cy's Hoof and Horn. The food was good, as was the service. Being a little close-in for our good weather rides, we only get there once a year.

Charlie will have some photos up later, and I'll get next week's ride posted in a couple of days. I think we're going south (but not too far south.)

Sadly, I have no photos to show. I made a dozen, and they showed on my computer browser software. But after sizing and editing the first photo, the SanDisk Extreme-Plus 64GIG card crashed! The computer refused to save the edited photo, then stopped showing the others. I have never had this happen, but it is what it is. I will keep trying to get the photos back, but after trying in 3 different computers it is doubtful.
Also, I used another card in the camera, exposed a few photos around the house here. All are fine, edit and save perfectly. This confirms the card I used at CY's today did indeed crash and died.
See ya next week. Charlie

There are some recovery software programs available, if you haven't already tried that. Here's one

Sorry you lost the photos, Charlie. For those who weren't there, just imagine a room full of twenty-three old fat guys with their mouths full and three attractive women ( and a solitary Harley Davidson parked out front.)
