South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, April 4, 11:00 AM

[roginoz]

Sorry for the delay in posting this week’s ride, but I was waiting to get a better idea of the coming weather. I was planning to move us farther from home this week, but the weather forecast for Wednesday keeps getting worse. Right now the Weather Channel is calling for scattered thunderstorms, with a sixty percent chance of rain. Let’s meet somewhere nearby, where we can drive instead of ride in case the weatherman’s correct. I’d rather not book us in to one of the small town places and then disappoint them with a smaller than normal turnout.

The food at the Breadbasket is always good, and they’re reasonably close by. Their place is a little larger than what we normally visit, so fluctuations in group size due to the weather won’t affect them too much. The offer a number of good sandwiches, eight or ten soup choices, and a good salad bar. There’s always a daily special, too. The bread is homemade, and they make some impressive pie if you happen to have room for dessert.

If the weather turns out better than expected, we can always ride and take the long route home.

The "Small Group" will leave MotorSports at 11:00 for the lunch ride to the Bread Basket...Keep your fingers crossed for riding weather.

Well, the rain did a number on us. (It can't always be as nice as last week.) We had six ROMEOs, and no motorcycles today at the Breadbasket. We did have have some excellent food and some good conversation, though. Bob and Rick made it from Garden Plain and Maize, Ron and Gene came down from Moundridge, and Charley drove up from Mulvane. Coming from Wichita, I was probably took short distance honors.
