RTE - Saturday May 7, 2011

[R100R Rider]

Yesterday I ate at a place in Mentone that I didn't know existed...The Wildflower Cafe. It is located behind some of the other buildings but worth finding. The Sirloin Steak Burger is killer! This place needs to be added to the ABEES list.

Well it was a beautiful day for a ride to the Wildflower Cafe. We didn't get the big burgers but ordered the special big burrito since we didn't make the Cinco de Mayo ride. I guess we celebrated Siete de Mayo. After we left the restaurant Bob and I continued on to Mountan Cove Farms and rode the Hog Jowl road before heading home. Stopped at Mountain Cove store and had desert, if you can call a Moonpie desert. Here are a few pictures.

I blew past you guys up the slab to Choo Choo and back on Saturday. Looks like it was a great ride!

Hey Vance, Did you order the new K bike?

Ha...ha...NO! It is a great ride and fun to test but I can wait a little longer. I have the GS fever you know! lol....

seriously Jim, if you get a chance to ride it, let me know what you think about that peg height.....

From the ride reports I have seen, I think it will be too short for me. I have the foot peg lowering brackets on my LT and the seat in the high position to make it comfortable for me. I hope it is too short so I won't be tempted!
