South Central Breakfast Ride: Wednesday, August 6, 9:00 AM
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2014 10:45 am
We haven't been to Durham for over a year, and it's been even longer since we had breakfast at the Main Street Cafe. It's in downtown Durham, just west of the highway (K15) a block or so. (Douglas is the main north/south street.) The food is always good, especially their homemade sausage.
Durham is a little over sixty miles from Wichita, an hour or less by motorcycle. If you're looking for the quick route, I-135 north to Newton and then K-15 from just north of Newton to Durham will get you there.
The Main Street Cafe has plenty of seating, but the kitchen is small. Ordering the daily special (which was a really good casserole last time I had breakfast there) will get you served more quickly; otherwise, relax and give them some time. (The meal is worth the wait.)
I'm posting this a bit early, because I'll be on the road Friday through Monday. There's no reliable way to know what next Wednesday's weather is going to be, so I guess we'll just roll the dice. If it turns out to be too nasty to ride, consider driving; the good food and company will more than compensate for having to arrive on four wheels.
Charlie is on his annual pilgrimage to Sturgis, so it would be nice if someone else could take a few photos and post them after the ride. I'd do it, but Mickey, Steve, and I are leaving for the Indy MotoGP right after breakfast and I probably wouldn't be able to post anything until quite a bit later than usual. I will get a ride scheduled for the following week, though, and have it posted here on the forum.
