April 2nd Saturday RTE

[R90srider]

On April 13, 2019 Martin Benson will lead his 6 Gap RTE from Edgar's Bakery at the Colonnade to Bama-Bucks in Sardis City, Alabama and, after lunch, we will return to Edgar's Bakery.

Martin’s 6 Gap ride is a good one. We will ride over 6 mountain gap roads as well as over Double Oak Mountain on Highway 25. The scenery along the way is excellent.

Bama-Bucks is a very popular eatery with customers coming from as far away as Nashville and Atlanta. They do not take reservations, so it is important for us to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they open so that we can be seated without a long wait. So, that means that we must depart Edgar’s Bakery no later than 8am. Please be suited up by 7:45 and ready to ride before Martin’s rider's briefing in front of the bakery.

Also, please email Bob Steber or post your reply here if you are going so that he can give a head count to the folks at Bama Bucks.

Here is the Basecamp route file for our RTE to and from Bama-Bucks.

So far, 8 folks said they are going and Jim Dubick will give the heads-up for our seating at Bama-Bucks. Please don't forget to let me know if you are going to meet us for lunch.

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday 13th.

I need to call the hostess Thursday with the head count so if you are going on the ride or meeting at Bama Bucks please advise Bob before Thursday.

[R90srider]

Thanks Jim. I'll send you the count by noon Thursday.

You betcha. She will be a happy lady, thank you.

I look forward to seeing you and even John too.

If you are arriving on your bike separate from the ride group please be advised that we have been requested to park along the fence at the far east side of the parking lot since the lot is not huge and fills up fast. That is the fence farthest from the main entrance door.

See you at Edgar’s Bakery for a great RTE

BTW: This should be posted at https://bmwmoal.org/second_saturday_rte.php as well.

[R90srider]

Great. Thanks for letting us know that you will join us and I look forward to seeing you at Edgar's. Please note the departure time change to 7:30 with a riders briefing at 7:15.

Good news, Jim called saying that our seating arrangements are set , but it is still important for us to be there before 11 o'clock. Sofar, 22 Alabeemers will enjoy having a great lunch together and Martin's 6 Gap ride before and afterwards is so good that it shouldn't be missed. The weather looks good too.

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.
