DAL/FTW: 3rd Saturday Breakfast South of the Metroplex

jgrm1 · Nov 15, 2019

Being fairly new to the area, I am just getting settled to the point where I can get out on a bike and enjoy the roads of Ellis and surrounding counties. One of the things I miss about other places I've lived is a regular get together with my motorcycle friends. I've noticed a lot of the DFW events are north of home, which isn't always convenient to attend.

So, I propose a get together of like-minded motorcyclists around Midlothian / Waxahachie to meet for breakfast, get to know each other, maybe go for a ride afterward.

I'll put a stake in the ground for the 3rd Saturday of the month - starting tomorrow Saturday, November, 16. Let's meet at Caroline's Country Cafe at 8 AM:

Caroline's Country Cafe
1000 E Main Street
Midlothian, TX
76065.

I hope to see you there.

Tomorrow's looks like a beautiful morning with temps in the mid-to-upper 30s. If you don't see me wearing my riding gear, look for a red Ducati sweatshirt. Either should stand out among the regulars at Caroline's.

Looks like a great plan.

I would definitely go except to get there 8, I'd have to leave by 645.

And I have to be in Grandview by 10 to see the Tolar Rattler 7th graders play in THE super bowl.

Mitch,

Midlothian to Grandview = 30 minutes. Forty minutes if you take FM 916 via Maypearl. Sounds perfect!

If you don't make this one, my intentions are for this to be a recurring event. Mark the 3rd Saturday on your calendars.

It’s a rare Saturday that I’m off work but Midlothian is ten miles from me.
Wish I could have meet up with you.

I just saw this so obviously I'm late.

I work every other weekend (and I was off last weekend) so I hope to make some of these. Welcome to the area btw.

Just now spotted this. Maybe next month if the weather cooperates.

Zonie · Nov 21, 2019

I could do next month myself. Say where and when.

Jarrett · Nov 21, 2019

Weird, I just saw this thread for the first time today.

I'll keep my eye out for the next one.

jgrm1 · Nov 21, 2019

We’ll keep it at Caroline’s for now for consistency. I’ll post a reminder before the third Saturday in December. I look forward to meeting y’all.

It's time for the 3rd Saturday Breakfast South of the Metroplex. The National Weather Service is forecasting an invigorating 41-degrees in Midlothian at 8 AM, and I know everyone is getting ready for the holidays, but you have to eat breakfast, right? So, see you at Carolines!

Tim Scholz · Dec 18, 2019

Once again I am working but by the time breakfast is over looks like great riding weather.

Jarrett · Dec 18, 2019

Looks a little chilly.

jgrm1 · Dec 18, 2019

I doubt anyone would mock you for arriving via cage.

I would.

I’m switching days this week with a co-worker so I should be able to make it Sunday. Ha ha the wind protection on the scooter should come in awful handy then.

Never mind, I should’ve read carefully. I have Sunday off and not Saturday. Jarrett don’t mock me.

I was just about to congratulate you for getting a Saturday off.

I have every other Saturday off but as luck would have it...

Is this still on?

jgrm1 · Dec 20, 2019

Yes, it’s still on.

Be there or be L7.
Don’t be L8

Hypothetically Jarrett, if you were going to ride a bike to breakfast, which one might that be this Saturday?

The one with heated grips, heated seat and excessive engine heat.

jgrm1 · Dec 20, 2019

If the roads are dry, I’m thinking I might roll out one of the antiques. If the roads are wet, then one with heated grips, etc.

-Jeff

jgrm1 · Dec 20, 2019

Depending on which forecast you look at, it could be as hot as 44 degrees at 8 AM.

Jarrett · Dec 21, 2019

I'll be there.
