Lunch 11 AM, Nov. 12, Conrad's Bar & Grill, Overbrook, Ks

[schoolmaster]

In looking at the weather for next week, I think it calls for us to stay a little closer in, since the high for next Wednesday is predicted to be 38 degrees. The food always seems to be good at this restaurant and we always have a pretty good turnout here despite the weather. The special on Wednesday will be chili, but the regular menu will be available as well and as I recall, the burgers and pork tenderloins are very good. So put on your long johns or plug in for the short ride to:

Conrad's Bar and Grill
311 Maple
Overbrook, Kansas
785-665-3395

And remember, Conrad's doesn't open until 11 AM so getting there at 8 o'clock will give you a great chance to visit for two or three hours with the postmaster in the heated lobby across the street from the restaurant. Hope to see you for lunch around 11. Remember, "Don't Overlook Overbrook"!

Mick what happened to google maps? I can't get routes and distance to lunch sites. Usually you put in home and then lunch site and it shows different routes and distances.

Dennis,
I don't know what happened. It was working fine a couple of hours ago, and when I just tried it the whole thing looks different and doesn't work like it used to, just as you noted. I'll contact Gary Droege who manages that link and see what he thinks is going on.

Thanks Mick, I thought I was having a brain fart moment.

I just tried and it still comes up different.

This time of year it's a little hard to plan for these rides because it's difficult to predict how much the weather will affect riding decisions. But I took a stab at planning and told them to expect "around 20" and we had 18 ROMEOS show up for lunch. However, most were "in" 4 wheelers, but I think there were 6 or 7 motorcycles when all showed up.

Not many pictures today because my camera was so fogged up when I first got there that I couldn't take any pictures and it was too darned cold outside for anyone to linger for photo ops afterwards. Thanks to all who showed up today. We had a great visit and I believe we concluded that it was a pretty dang good day to be a ROMEO! Allen and I took a little 100 mile ride this afternoon doing some scouting for some great lunch places and the conclusion we drew was that the best is yet to come. Stay tuned as we explore these finds from week to week. Hope that if you have a bright red nose the next week, it's from a little extra motorcycling
And by the way, if you've missed the discussions online, Google has stopped supporting the Maps application that we have been using so we are having difficulty in finding a fix so that you can just click on and find a suggested route and pretty accurate time estimate. Parkville Rider and Jerry have been working really hard to find a way to restore this function for our convenience. Until then, I know you'll all figure out how to find a way to lunch anyway! Just wanted you all to know why the map function is not working as it has in the past.

Mick, I might have a solution which I posted on the General Discussion tab. Let me know what you think:
