I think the breakfast for some/lunch for others is working pretty well because we don't overwhelm some of the smaller places we attend. Keith and I checked out Talette's Cafe a few weeks ago and I think it's the perfect spot for next week's ride. I told her that some of us like to get there for breakfast and some for lunch and she thought that was great as it would make it easier for her to handle a group as large as ours.
Just as an aside, we need to respect the impact that we have on places like this, both positive and negative. If we show up in one large pack all at once, it can create hard feelings for their regulars. They have their regular breakfast crowd and lunch crowd so if breakfast eaters respect that by showing up around 9 after their normal breakfast rush and lunch eaters arrive by 11, the regular lunch crowd can hit at their normal time and it makes for a great day for everyone. For me, ROMEO is not just about the food, but also the fellowship, so it's great if the early guys hang around after they eat long enough for the the later guys to be able to arrive a little early and socialize before they eat so everyone gets the benefits of food and friendship. Win-win.
Enough of that. Now for the facts. Breakfast stops at 11. Lunch is served beginning at 11. Talette's is a new restaurant, the food looks really good and the portions are huge. She can seat about 50 inside and has a nice patio outside if you want to enjoy the great outdoors. The Wednesday special for us will be meatloaf (sandwich or dinner). So lets all hook up Wednesday the 30th on the south side of the "main drag" sometime between 9 and 11 at:
Talette's Cafe
416 E. 4th St.
Tonganoxie, Kansas
913-417-7032

The prediction right now for next Wednesday is a high of 88, so for this time of year that's about as good as it gets. Hope to see you next week.

OK, so I was off about 10 degrees in my weather prediction for today, but in a good way! Left the house this morning in the high 60's and it was 79 when I returned home this afternoon. So for the end of July to be able to ride with overcast skies and temps in the 70's, if you didn't ride today either you must be dead, your wife is totally in charge, or you are waiting for warranty work to be done on your Gold Wing![attachment=20]DSCN3867.JPG[/attachment][attachment=19]DSCN3865.JPG[/attachment][attachment=18]DSCN3866.JPG[/attachment][attachment=17]DSCN3868.JPG[/attachment][attachment=16]DSCN3869.JPG[/attachment][attachment=15]DSCN3870.JPG[/attachment][attachment=14]DSCN3871.JPG[/attachment][attachment=13]DSCN3872.JPG[/attachment][attachment=12]DSCN3873.JPG[/attachment][attachment=11]DSCN3874.JPG[/attachment][attachment=10]DSCN3875.JPG[/attachment][attachment=9]DSCN3876.JPG[/attachment][attachment=8]DSCN3877.JPG[/attachment][attachment=7]DSCN3878.JPG[/attachment][attachment=6]DSCN3879.JPG[/attachment][attachment=5]DSCN3886.JPG[/attachment][attachment=4]DSCN3880.JPG[/attachment][attachment=3]DSCN3882.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]DSCN3884.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN3885.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]DSCN3887.JPG[/attachment]Thanks to everyone who rode today and enjoyed the ROMEO experience. A good estimate for attendance today would be between 65 and 70. With the wide arrival and departure times, it's getting very difficult to get a totally accurate count. But a good day nonetheless. Thanks again to Talette and her staff for doing such a wonderful job of accommodating our group and doing it with a smile on their face. Another great day to be a ROMEO![/color]
