South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, December 9, 11:00 AM

[roginoz]

A couple of folks have suggested that we try out this new place. It's run by Bob Troxell's daughter, Tonya Scott, and her husband Shane. It's located at the corner of 5th and State in Augusta.

The menu is pretty varied: sandwiches and wraps, pizza, pasta, meatloaf, etc. It sounds like everyone ought to find something to their liking. They don't open until 11:00, so if you're one of the early birds you can do some tire kicking beforehand.

The weather looks a little better for next Wednesday, but it's hard to predict this far in advance. Still cool, but about ten degrees better than last Wednesday. Right now the Weather Channel is calling for a high of fifty-seven and mostly sunny, with very little chance of rain. If it's too cool for you, there's always the car... Augusta is only about twenty miles from Wichita, but there are some options for a longer way home if the weather is really nice. (The smart money says Brian's going to want to take Thunder Road.)

We had one of our biggest turnouts today: forty-six people and forty-three motorcycles. The motorcycles traveled 1439 miles (one way) to Augusta. Unusual numbers for December, but it was unusually good day to ride this late in the year.

We more than filled the side room at Sugar Shane's (I told them to expect a couple dozen people,) but there was plenty of space for all of us. The food was good, and Shane really appreciated having us come for lunch.

Charlie will have photos posted shortly, and I'll have next week's ride listed in a couple of days.

Photos. Very poor light in that room, but I tried my best for usable snaps.
