In downtown Madison there's the Mountaineer Cafe (opposite the Madison Inn). They're open Sunday from 7:00-2:00. A couple of BMW riders were there when I stopped in today.

Is anyone planning to tape it?

Nice route for the ride back to Cville today, Butch.

Good to see everyone at brunch today, too.

Chuck,

Great choice!

As Chuck said in an earlier post, several of the regulars are attending the RA Rally in Idaho. I had planned to attend the July First Sunday Ride, but family obligations have trumped my best intentions. If anyone wants to ride tomorrow (Saturday) give me a shout.

How about:

Eat at 9:00 AM
Ride at 10:00 AM

Check out the Events section. Hope to see you soon at one of the First Sunday Rides.

Great ride today. Awesome route, Chuck. Thanks! Good to see Butch, Frank, Dan & Larry.
