Memorial Day Ride

May 28, 2012
Colorado, USA

Happy Memorial Day USA! May we always remember those who have served our country and our interests as a free people... no sacrifice is more worthy of our humble gratitude... thank you Veterans and bless you loved ones of our Veterans!

Normally we are off to Texas or elsewhere on a Memorial Day weekend ride, flags flying behind us, the service of our Veterans, family, friends and catfish on our minds - Ha! - but this year work has us roaming closer to home.

We rolled out about mid-morning looking for breakfast. We found it at The Cowboy Corner Cafe in the downtown area of little ol' Eaton, CO on the eastern plains. Yum! The owner is a biker himself so he knows... The triple C serves breakfast all day and the rest of the menu items going by looked great! The coffee is hot and rich (and served up for tips only). The establishment is cozy and clean, popular with the locals, the service is fast and friendly and the food is served up in generous portions for a reasonable price. At present they are open for breakfast and lunch and closed Sundays. Yep! We will be back!

We spent the rest of the day riding the plains and through small rural communities and then we rode the lakes in a wide, circuitous route toward home. Of course we stopped for ice cream in the afternoon - the DQ - won't Dad be proud!

Today's mileage = 233.7 miles
