ROMEOS

TRADITIONAL “NEW YEAR’S DAY RIDE!" For a combined ROMEO RIDE, young or old. No one is counted out! May I suggest that this is not a ride for the faint-hearted, but the requirements are quite simple. If you are able to mount your trusty stead, come join us. The other alternative is to crawl in ...

“Old Man Winter” is fast approaching! Our plan of the day for future riding can be said with one word “CoooooooLD!” I counted 3 bikes and 20 ROMEOS. The 4 wheels won the day, and no one complaining. Not bad for another frigid riding day! Smoked Creations BBQ stole our hearts again with their superb...

In John’s absence I agreed to pull duty for our bunch and made my way to “Ranch Café” in Grandview, MO, along with two other brave riders, Randy and Tim. It was surely a frigid start this morning . . . in the 30’s with afternoon temperatures reaching the 40’s. The three of us who rode our bikes sur...

First of all, I want to start by thanking Tim Flom for his kind and generous offer to cover for me while I was gone. I missed not being with you all to enjoy all the comradery we always have when we meet together. Boy howdy, we lucked out weather wise with warmer temperature Wednesday. I was able t...

The pick for our next Wednesday’s ride is Bradley’s Corner, located in Old Town, Topeka, just north of the river over the bridge at the intersection of North Kansas Avenue and Laurent St. This is not a big place, but they’ve added another room to accommodate their customers. They do serve breakfast...

Ok, I’m thinking to myself right now how to describe today’s ride and keep it interesting. So, here it goes. It was a chilly morning to start with (40º) and rain just around the corner. By noon time a much-needed precipitation set in for the rest of the day. To my knowledge, there were no two-wheel...

Ok, I’ve been pondering on what to do for this next week’s ride. Some of you have been asking if there will even be a ride this next Wednesday because of it being the day before “THANKSGIVING.” The unequivocal answer is a big YES!! The “Eastern Kansas Romeos” will still be meeting. I want to wish e...

Ok! While sitting down to write this post, thinking and mulling over as to what kind of summary I’m to report, my first and immediate thoughts are, keep it simple. Here is what comes to mind. As usual we had a good time of fellowship, visiting, and breaking bread with each other. And particularly, ...

Next week’s pick has always been a favorite. A little hometown cafe nestled at the east edge of the Kansas Flint Hills. After talking to Becky, cook & owner, she shared with me that you can order off a menu and the buffet would be ready as well. You can eat breakfast or lunch here. I’m looking ...

I just got back from spending the day with Mick Lowe. Many of you have been asking how Mick is doing, and the report as of today is that he is on the mend and will hopefully be joining us again soon. His pneumonia symptoms are gone and he is breathing much better. He says there is still a little di...

For our next ride we will be heading for “4 Corners Steakhouse,” located south of Topeka, just off of US 75 & 56 hwy. If you're a John Wayne fan, you will not want to miss this little place! The staff here is always friendly, helpful, and very much attentive to their customers’ needs. Since the...

It was a good ride yesterday and still enjoying the warm temperatures for the tail end of this summer. Some of us had to contend with a few raindrops on their way here but no soakers, thank the Lord! It was good to see all who could make it to the ride. PS: I told Cliff Prothie I would share this w...

For this next week’s ride, I’m thinking of another visit to Lecompton. This cafe is just off the road that goes by Lecompton. It's new, young, and hasn’t been in existence very long. It’s quaint and different with lots of character. Their menu offers lots of variety to choose from. The breakfast me...

It was another one on those beautiful fall days to assemble ourselves at the “The Miracle Cafe” in Reading, KS. I hope everyone got a good long ride in for the day. These are the days that we all wish for & we wait for throughout the year. Speaking of “Miracles,” many of us may already be aware...

This next ride will be almost like riding to a new place because it’s been so long since we’ve been there. In the past it has been a delightful cafe and a nice place to ride! They have a new building now, giving them room for more space and customers. For those of you who haven’t been here, you wil...

Several of us arrived early and it was one of the few times that I was the first one there. I mean like an hour earlier. Not bad for a frigid, frosty morning ride! Many started their ride in the 30’s & 40’s. All-in-All it turned out to be quite a beautiful day. As usual, others of us sprinkled ...

This week’s pick will be another lunch ride only. I’m not sure that we have ever ridden here before, but it looks interesting enough to go head and post it. Providing that the weather is consistent with its forecast (70’s for the high) it should be a stunning and gorgeous Wednesday on the Missouri ...

It was a gorgeous day to ride with over 25 bikes & 30+ riders. Everyone seemed to be coming out of the woodwork to the days joyous event. It was good seeing everyone again. I always enjoy socializing and visiting with all of our riders each week, so much so, that I missed out ordering my own lu...
