[BHV] Ride and Eat, this Saturday, mmm good !!

[William Lodico]

Lula and I are on board.

We may need to reserves space in van for tandem to get tandem back to  
Elmira whenever you return.   If so we may be able to return at least  
one rider and bike in addition to ourselves in car Saturday night,  
possibly two riders and bikes if I throw a rack on back.  We'll  
shuttle a car up before hand.  Let me know if you need a shuttle help  
for the van.

By now many of you have seen me blow past you on my big red tandem, a  
big grin on my face, and, trust me, I hear you saying, " He ain't so  
bad, he couldn't ride like that without Deb on the back making that  
thing go". (and you're right ! ) Then you think to yourself, " What's  
that chic all about anyway, I heard she has a cafe or something like  
that, and the leftover goodies she shares are out of this world, what  
makes her tick, hmmm ?"  Well, here's your big chance to find out !  
This Saturday from 5:00 until 8:00 Deb's place, the Gristmill Cafe,  
in Burdett is open for one of her famous seafood dinners. And let me  
tell ya, I can't stop drooling from all the ideas she's flown by me !  
I believe the final choices are baked fish fry or a shrimp dish that  
I couldn't do justice to if I tried to describe it here, but it made  
me say, "oh, baby, don't stop, tell me more". So she went on about  
home made ice cream and a hummingbird cake dessert she's making, and,  
well I can't tell you any more because I passed out, fainted dead  
away from overload ! She had to wave a fresh baked scone under my  
nose to bring me back around !
There will be a couple locals playing ol' tyme music to get your feet  
stompin'. You can bring your own beer or wine if you like ( Deb  
encourages it ! ) and, shucks, when the bottles are empty you can  
join along with the musicians ! Sit inside or out, the front porch is  
perfect for watching the cars roll by, very Mayberry, or sit on the  
back deck and listen to the birds and water going over the falls  
( actually, the birds don't go over the falls, just the water does )
So my big idea is to ride to Burdett from the shop at 3:30 this  
Saturday. I'm thinking Ridge Rd to Odessa then Texas Hollow and drop  
down to Burdett. It's just about 30 miles. A nice gentle pace, just  
enough to work up an appetite. Arrive around 5:30 (unless Texas  
Hollow has other plans for us) and commence to having a good ol' time  
in Burdett !
Since this is a one way ride we'd need to coordinate with some non  
riding SOs to meet there for rides home. Try the ol'," I'll buy you  
dinner if you do, Honey", that should do the trick.  I can put bikes  
in my van and drop them off later or something like that. Or just  
drive up and eat, your riding buddies won't bust on you too bad,  
right ? :p
Sounds fun, huh ? And keep in mind, Deb's motto about her food, which  
she's passionate about, is, " it's delicious and nutritious !!"   And  
she's right !!
