Fifth Annual Roy’s BBQ Lunch Ride
Hutchinson, Kansas – Saturday, March 31, 2012 – 11:00 AM
BBQ at Roy’s in Hutchinson & Pie at the Carriage Crossing in Yoder
Although the ROMEOs have been riding all winter, the Roy’s BBQ Ride to Eat serves as the traditional start of the Kansas riding season for my friends on the ST-Owners and Motorcycle Sport Touring Association forums. It’s open to anyone Ann doesn’t throw out of the restaurant, and we’ve had several ROMEOs attend in the past. (Good BBQ, a chance to ride, tolerable company – it pretty well fits the ROMEO criteria…)
We’ll meet for lunch at Roy’s BBQ (1018 Nickerson Blvd., Hutchinson) at 11:00 AM. (Optional tire kicking and BS will take place prior to that.) It makes for an early start for some, but it lets us beat the crowd. (In the tradition of real BBQ places, it’s over when the meat’s gone.) Save a little bit of room, because after lunch we’ll take a short ride to Yoder for pie at the Carriage Crossing. There’s reserved motorcycle parking (which we’ll quickly overflow) on the south side, and Amish buggies parked on the north side.
After the pie, some of you may want to visit the Kansas Cosmosphere (http://www.cosmo.org). They have American rockets, German V1 and V2s, American and Russian space capsules, and an SR71 Blackbird hanging in the lobby. There’s also an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, and a tremendous amount of other stuff.
Last year we had had nineteen people, arriving via seventeen motorcycles and one Cadillac. Six states were represented: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma
I will buy lunch, and pie, for the rider traveling the farthest. In the past four years, we’ve had people ride from Louisiana, California, and Arizona (twice) to claim the free meal. The long distance rider will also get his or her name engraved on the legendary Mixon Cup, which is proudly displayed year-round at Roy’s. In addition, I’ll buy pie at the Carriage Crossing for anyone who shows up wearing a ROMEO shirt.
