ROMEOS

I got a call from Susan at the Dinner Bell Cafe in Wetmore this afternoon and she informed me that the tour bus she was expecting for breakfast at 8:45 AM had changed their plans and would not be there for breakfast as planned. So if any of you want to show up at 8:45 AM for breakfast, feel free to...

Sorry this post is late, but I was waiting on a clearer picture of the weather to finalize this one because this will be special. The Dinner Bell Cafe is the site of this week's lunch, and I do emphasize lunch this time, because the Dinner Bell is already booked for a tour bus for breakfast that da...

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 oppo...

Many of you may have heard about this as Swanee posted this info and Roger Shores added a comment, but since it hadn't shown up on the Eastern Kansas post I thought I'd pass this along: ROMEO down but going to be ok hopefully...

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...

Although finding the right street to turn down to get to Aunt Netter's seemed to be the biggest challenge of the day in Lecompton. But according to Jamin, the co-owner and chef, 65 ROMEO's managed to make their way to the counter to order either lunch or breakfast.[attachment=27]10387481_4354271099...

It looks like it could warm up a little next week, but still pretty nice for Kansas in August. Besides, most of you are home in time for your nap before the temperature ever gets warm enough to even be a little uncomfortable. So this week we are going someplace where you can accomplish several thin...

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 eith...

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 bre...

Sorry I'm so late posting this ride report, but I'm babysitting my three grandsons all under the age of 10, and that seems to be a pretty full time job! Don't know how their mother does it! Swanee did another great job of picking the perfect place for a lunch, and the weather cooperated to ensure w...

Thanks Linda for posting the pictures from Lebo. Looks like everyone was having a good time. We are spending the night in Red Lodge, MT after riding from Casper this morning. If you've never ridden over Chief Joseph Highway or Bear Tooth Pass from Cody to Red Lodge, you need to put that on your buck...

Everyone seems to like the Lebo Diner since the food is great and the location is a nice ride for most of us in our area. I talked with Mac, the cook on Wednesdays, and he told me he has become "regionally famous" for his specialty hamburgers that he does on Wednesdays. So he'll have a RO...

DSCN3615.JPG This really is Kansas and this really is July, and yes today in Kansas the temperature by the time I arrived home in late afternoon on the bank clock near my house was 67 degrees!! I believe the high today maybe reached mid-70's. If the weather keeps up like this I think I'll buy a mot...

I stopped and visited with Rick, the owner of Cottage Inn in Belvue, Ks. and he was thrilled to hear that we wanted to dine at his fine establishment. I counted seats and there are 41 of them, not counting the bar stools so we should be in good shape especially since we sort of spread out between b...

The weather forecast from a week ago appeared "spot on" for today as it was an absolutely beautiful day for a ride with temps in the 60's early this morning finally reaching the mid-80's by 3:30 pm today. Along with clear, blue skies, and hardly any wind, you all responded with a big crow...

For those of you who believe you don't get your pie and your paycheck, or your lunch in the same place, you have some planning ahead to do for next week. Because we're having lunch at many of the guys' favorite pie stop when we ride south. That's right-we're going to lunch at: Marilynn's Place 1216...

The weather wasn't quite as pristine as last week and they missed last week's estimated high of 85 by about 5 degrees, but a frisky wind from the south didn't stop over 50 ROMEO's from dropping in for lunch at Chunkie Dunkers in Oskaloosa. I stopped counting at 46 but the owner said that well over ...

I didn't think we could match the weather from last week's lunch, but the forecast for Wednesday is Mostly Sunny with a high of 85! I thought we ought to try a new place this week. Although we did eat with the owners of this restaurant a couple of years at the Grainery Saloon on Lake Perry. But the...

Well, Roger advised yesterday in his ride report that if the sun shines, ride. He is a wise man, because the sun did shine and it was a perfect day to ride. The short 4 mile ride from Hwy 16 on Hwy 79 to Circleville might have been as pretty as I've ever seen it-vibrant green pastures, blue skies, ...

It's time to go north, and what better place than the Country Cafe in Circleville, Ks. Rhonda is pleased to have us return and she is going to fix her famous lasagna, salad, and homemade rolls as the ROMEO special, or you can order breakfast before or order off the menu for lunch. I told her that s...
