South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, October 11, 11:00 AM
Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2017 2:29 pm
We probably ought to take advantage of the good fall riding weather while we can. Right now it looks like Wednesday will be cool and dry: fifty degrees at 10:00 AM and fifty-six at noon. A medium weight jacket ought to do the trick.
The Latham Saloon has re-opened under new management; it's more of a restaurant than a bar. They have a daily special, burgers and other sandwiches, and salads. Our trusty scouts tell me that the food's pretty good, and the staff informed me that Wednesday is chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken day (maybe some pork tenderloin sandwiches, too.) The kitchen is kind of small, so if one of the daily special looks good to you, it'll get you fed more quickly.
Latham is less than fifty miles, and about fifty minutes, from Wichita. Remember to look out for the Leon policeman if you're traveling past their town on US 400. The speed limit drops abruptly to 50 mph, and there's a 45 mph school zone when the lights are flashing.
I've been told that there's a bridge on the road between Atlanta and Latham that's been closed for repairs. Best to be aware, if you're coming from the south.
