The west side Hooters run is on the 15th also; or has that one been cancelled?

I'm not sure about the Hooters run - I've missed all the previous ones and don't have a passport to complete - but I know the Breakfast Ride to Blue Ridge is on.

I've had absolutely zero response to the Hooter's run. I was considering calling it and going to breakfast myself

Hey Ghille, I don't see a problem with two rides on the same day, especially since they are in different directions and at different times. I believe Chuck (Vermithrax) was planning on the Hooters run. I'm sorry but I'm not a Hooters fan, I think I'm too old. The food gives me indigestion and with three daughters ages 30, 22, 19....well the girls are just too young. Have fun at Hooters or ride with us, either way just ride |

I didn't see a problem either, but I just got no interest. If your ride was a little earlier I would make both of them. Hooters doesn't overly thrill me either, but free wings from anywhere is always a good thing. Once I started I was intent on finishing my passport. If Vermithrax follows up with me I'll still go, but otherwise, I'll probably see ya in the morning.
PS. You don't really have a 30yo kid do you???

Big thanks to godfire for routing and leading the ride yesterday.  It was great. I didn't know there are that many tree-canopied roads this close to home. 13 people on 9 bikes left Starbucks - 6 Valkyries, 1 'wing, 1 Yamaha, 1 Kawasaki. A Super-Valk and a mysterious boxer-twin dual-sport met us in Blue Ridge. Breakfast was good, and if you weren't hungry when you got there, you probably were by the time the food hit the table. Cattleman's is a cute little place - emphasis on little - and we got there just minutes after it filled up. The wait gave us lots of time for chit chat. Looking forward to seeing some of C-Note's pics... |

The wait gave us lots of time for chit chat. That was the longest I have ever waited for a meal... good thing I enjoy all of you peoples' company. |
