Group I.O. Post |
Yesterday, breakfast... .today ... we'll use Lunch as an excuse! Brought it up to Dutch, Chief and Boudreaux. Chief is prepping for Regionals, Boudreaux can't make it and he's headed out of town tomorrow to 'trike' his Indian, but Dutch can make it. I see where C-Word chimed in yesterday on our ride, so made sure she knew so looks like her and Slingblade may make it! Weather rocks again, Dutch picked out a place off Hwy 66 so it'll be 2 lane most of the way out west to Rockwall. Lets Roll! Post it on GIO; it's official
Top off at QT .. Dutch rolls up ready to go. C-Word pulls up alone a few minutes later and tops off. She's a rock star today coming in from Royce City to simply turn around and head back that way with us. We soon line up and rolling down Hwy 66 on a beautiful 80 degree 'morning.' I've forgotten how much the Royce City, Fate and Rockwall areas are building up. New housing areas everywhere. Soon, Hwy 66 will succumb to the same fate as Hwy 380 with wider lanes, more lights and crazy traffic? Probably another five years or so, but it appears to be coming ... sadly. Soon as we get into downtown Rockwall, we pull up to this lil parking area; our destination .. an old school diner.
Inside, it just feels 'right.' Has that small town feel to it still. Menu rocks as does the food that comes out; we order Chicken Fried Steak and Rueben sandwiches - winners! Dutch was here last weekend, but it's a first for myself and C-Word; 'I'll be back' as Arnie would say? We catch up on all the latest, discuss the upcoming Cancer Run specifics, solve the problems of the world and ... chat about riding and life in general. Most importantly, we promise to ensure C-Word is aware of our future weekday rides. Her hubby Slingblade works from home so we're hoping he can join us on some future rides.......
Soon.... rolling home. C-Word breaks off homeward bound when we get east of Royce City and Dutch and I head into Greenville on separate errands. Few stops later, home sweet home by 1430 hours and updating this blog and DRP miles.
Another ride in the books ....
