Where: Yoder's Deitsch Haus

             5252 GA-26, Montezuma, GA 31063

Don't get lost again. Do you need a route.

[wbw6cos]

Nah,  I will let Lowndes lead; he has paper maps, a little cheat-sheet, and two electronic devices for navigating with Garmin and Waze.  

[MikeB60]

Short ride for me, IN!

I hate the stuff but might get one in honor of Kinsley!

[wbw6cos]

For me, heading towards Columbus makes it a longer ride.   Just sayin'

[Lowndes]

William,

 

If we ride separately does that improve the chances that one of us will make it all the way and on time??

 

Asking for a friend.

 

Lowndes

[wbw6cos]

As long as we make the turns we missed before.    Manchester?  Hawkinsville?  Remember those?

I don't know if you want to take chances like that. That would be a very risky move. 

[Ron-M]

It looks like Dave and I are in on this one. See you there.

Great, looking forward to catch up with you guys again.

PS: don’t forget about the Cedar Key Lunch on January 22, 2022.

Sad to post this, but I am out.   I have to go in to work for a few hours.  You guys have a great meal and stay safe on your journeys.

William,

 

That's OK, we can leave after lunch.  We never make it on time anyway.

 

 

Lowndes

[Ron-M]

Hopefully we will see you next time.  

[Lowndes]

William,

 

I know the fruitcake place in Claxton, Ga, but where's the fruitcake place in Montezuma??  Is it Yoder's??

 

Can I bring some back for you??

 

 

[wbw6cos]

Yoders sells fruitake and other freshly baked goodies.  Thanks for the offer, but I am good. 

 

Besides, the weight of one may cause an imbalance effect as you are missing a side case and cannot even out the weight distribution.  

[Lowndes]

I'm here!!  First one, an hour early.  

[terryofperry]

Mmmm......

Lowndes, just a head's up when you leave, your inflatable vest is hanging on the railing outside the restaurant.

 Thanks, Randy. I was just wondering.

 

Just walked in the house and discovered it was missing.  Again.  First thing that came to mind was Bama John got it again.

[MikeB60]

Good to see everyone and a great lunch as usual!

[Bernie]

Good turnout and great seeing all you guys. Ron and Dave followed me to Moultrie, GA,  before splitting of to Tallahassee.

I made home around 6:20 pm, long day, but worth it. No rain, lots of clouds and fog in the morning. A very warm day, almost 85F. I killed lots of bugs, the bike is a mess again.  
And the fruitcake survived the ride.

[wbw6cos]

Wondering if those folks that rode north ran into any rough weather on the way back?

We missed it by an hour or so

I was sunny and warm for most of the day.  A little foggy early.  On the way back the bottom fell on me about a mile south of I-285 on the south side of ATL.  Stopped under Old 41 and put on the garbage bag.  YES, you would have gotten wet!!

[wbw6cos]

I was in The Mancave during the afterneoon when Laura told me that the sky done bust open (paraphrasing):  heavy winds then hard rain for 30 minutes, or so.   Glad you made it back without issues.

 

Rain does not bother me; heavy winds with heavy rain causes a little concern, though.      Finally, my bald front tire has been swapped out, so fresh Michelins are now on front and rear.

So,  "no more excuses"!!

[wbw6cos]

I did have to work, but the only reason I let that get in the way was because I could NOT get the front tire bead, on the RT, to seat when I swapped it out Friday evening.  DOH!    I figured I could not do a ride anyway (my R 1200 C  HES is being refurbished, so no riding yet) so I went in to work the yard.   The RT will definitely be ready for Cedar Key.   Oh, yeah!

There are several tricks to the "tire bead sealing".  Remind me.

 

HES still at Rito's??

   Joel and I both had other thinks going on this past Saturday and were unable to make it to Yoder's, so we are going to show up there a week late!

Like William and Bernie, I need to pick up some fruitcake if there is any left. 

[Ron-M]

Thanks for getting me off my bottom and out riding Bernie.  Dave and I had a great time.  Great route back to Moultrie.  After all these years, that was my first time experiencing a Bernie route home.   My wife ordered me to not bring back a fruitcake.  Bought a carrot cake instead.  It is delicious.  

[wbw6cos]

I had my first Bernie Route Experience at FART.  Quite interesting and fun!

Great Xmas present for your mother-in-law…wish I could have made this my inaugural lunch ride but grandkids trump rides most of the time.

Bernie thank you for coordinating the lunch.  It was great to see folks again and fun following you for a while. Not so much fun chasing my gas gauge to the gas station (arrived with the range reading 5 miles).  :0  

 

I just finished off the cinnamon roll/pie I purchased. Delicious.  

 

Dave...

I am glad you made it. By the way, you would not have been the first GS, that ran out of fuel, following me.

[Lowndes]

Too much good food.  I don't think you'd have liked it.
