Lunch 11 AM, August 13, New Breck Cafe, Americus, Kansas

Post by schoolmaster »

It's time for a change in direction, some changes in latitude, changes in attitude as Jimmy Buffett would say, so we're going south/southwest next week.[attachment=0]IMAG0165.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1]IMAG0167.jpg[/attachment]I don't remember the "old" Breck, but the New Breck Cafe is excellent. The menu is extensive and they will also have a spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread and drink special for $7.25. So here are the details:

Lunch 11 AM. They are NOT open for breakfast but she has agreed to open for lunch at 10:30 so for those of you who just can wait for 11, you can eat early.
All this will happen on Wednesday, August 13 at

The New Breck Cafe
Americus, Kansas

The cooler weather, at least as predicted for now, is supposed to last through the middle of next week so it should be a great day for a ride. I stopped here today for pie after having lunch in Colony, and I can truly say that the Kansas landscape is about as beautiful as I've ever seen it. The grass is cow-belly high, deep green, and the ponds are full to the brim. So get up real early, eat breakfast at home and saddle up for an early lunch in the world famous Flint Hills!

Many of you will remember this park as the site of Don's annual spring picnic in the park.  But there's no picnic this week, just lunch at the finest restaurant in Americus.

They've been getting ready since 1857 in Americus, preparing for this ROMEO visit.

It turned out to be another perfect day to ride, with no wind and mild temperatures. Several people commented that they had rarely seen Kansas look this beautiful for mid-August, with green the major color of the day, when riding through the countryside! We had 41 ROMEO's take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy another great ROMEO Wednesday lunch.[attachment=21]DSCN3923.JPG[/attachment][attachment=20]DSCN3925.JPG[/attachment][attachment=19]DSCN3924.JPG[/attachment][attachment=18]DSCN3926.JPG[/attachment][attachment=17]DSCN3928.JPG[/attachment][attachment=16]DSCN3929.JPG[/attachment][attachment=15]DSCN3930.JPG[/attachment][attachment=14]DSCN3948.JPG[/attachment][attachment=13]DSCN3931.JPG[/attachment][attachment=12]DSCN3933.JPG[/attachment][attachment=11]DSCN3932.JPG[/attachment][attachment=10]DSCN3938.JPG[/attachment][attachment=9]DSCN3939.JPG[/attachment][attachment=8]DSCN3934.JPG[/attachment][attachment=7]DSCN3935.JPG[/attachment][attachment=6]DSCN3936.JPG[/attachment][attachment=5]DSCN3937.JPG[/attachment][attachment=4]DSCN3940.JPG[/attachment][attachment=3]DSCN3941.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]DSCN3945.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN3946.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]DSCN3947.JPG[/attachment]If you missed the ride today I hope you still got to ride somewhere on this gorgeous day. Because it was another great day to be a ROMEO! See you down the road next week. Don't forget Southeast Kansas rides to Moran on Friday.

A few early birds found a nice place to roost while waiting for the New Breck staff to open the doors.  However, they did let the guys in for a little early morning coffee while they waited.  Nice touch New Breck!

Early birds parked right in front, but Americus' main street was buzzing with activity this morning as the school district office next door was hosting teachers for their first day back, and the city street crew and power crew all had big projects going on at the same time.

So people parked all over up and down main street.

The special board, as advertised.  And according to all reports, it was a great deal.

Although it did create a little tension at the table between those who got the cake with the special and those that didn't order the special.

The 1/2 pound burgers and hand-cut Americus fries were pretty darned good too.

Junior joined us (and the Robey's) for lunch after having breakfast with the South Central group.  He was also distributing flyers promoting the Fall Rendezvous at the Hub next month.  Check out the announcement on the website for all the details.  If you haven't gone to one, consider it this fall.  The riding is second to none and the camaraderie is top notch.  It's a great way to spend a couple of fun days riding in the Ozarks.

This was where the magic happened this morning.  I missed getting the other cook, but they did a great job, considering they were also catering the teacher luncheon next door at the same time.  Thanks to all the Breck Cafe staff for a great lunch.
