I thought that's why folks had convertibles

Of course, following too closely is discouraged in that case

Nice romp in WOLF617's home turf followed by, you guessed it..... Lunch?

I LOVE this club!
That is why I'm overweighted

The time line on the day may look pretty much like this:

(For some) Meet at Panera in Columbia, (I need to grab some bagels for the breakfast) @ 8.30am. Motoring to MoT.

9.30am Breakfast meet @ MoT.

11.30am. Gathering for run in front of MoT, and start the Bill's home turf run after everyone's ready, est time to start 11.45am.

1.30pm. est time to finish the run, @ xxx and lunch @ yum-yum restaurant (name and location TBA )

Okay,
When maxicooper stated that he wanted a place that served breakfast, I had originally planned to stop at a place called The Sunshine Grill. It's a little Greek-American restaurant that serves breakfast. It's nothing fancy but the food's good and the parking lot is decently-sized.

Now since menu items like cheesesteaks have been mentioned and since it will be closer to lunchtime at the end of the run, I submit for your approval:

www.andynelsonsbbq.com

They have awesome ribs and barbeque. Their cornbread is worth the trip by itself!

Just let me know which everyone would like (majority rules) and I will adjust the route. It's a fun drive to either.

Bill

If you like twisties, rolling countryside, bridges( 1 covered) and such, you won't be disappointed.

Let me know what you think.
For more detail of this great run, please go to:
Baltimore county bridges n Backroad Blitz

And don't forget, our breakfast meet will start at 9.30am, to be followed by the run at 12pm.

I believe I'm up for a road trip from Alexandria. I had a Bike (Harley) ride planned for Sat; however, the Bike may not be back from 10K service in time. Once I confirm status of the Bike I will sign-up if I can make it. However, I may be a little past 9:30 arriving in Towson.

Hi C.P.,

Love to have you come up if the two wheel thing doesn't work out.

We'll be at MoT for a while, so don't sweat the time.

Great, we're looking forward to see you tomorrow.



Btw, I'll bring bagels and spreads from Panera's.

From the last Towson breakfast, they arranged coffee for us. We may need some juices and cups. Anyone would like to be a co-sponsor for the event?

Bev and I can bring some juices and cups. We have cold liquid cups on hand...will we need to pick up hot beverage cups or will those be provided by MoT?

And we haven't been to a breakfast meeting yet. How many juices should we bring and what types? Grape, apple, etc? We're traveling an hour so I kind of don't want to bring anything cold like orange juice.

Thank you so much.

Towson breakfast is unpredictable, I would say between 10 - 20 people will show up.
Last time, they are kind enough to have coffee, sugar, cream and cups for us.

I think 5 or 6 cartons should be enough for everyone. Just my 2 cents.

Let me split that with you, Glenn.

Count on me bringing a few cartons of juice... some sort of variations of orange (orange/pineapple, orange/banana, orange/green bean---just seeing of you're paying attention).

Okie-doke ?

Thanks to the event sponsors.

Here is what we have:

Juices & cups: MrMellowYellow, CR&PW&JB.
Bagels and Spreads: Maxicooper

Anyone interested to be another co-sponsors, your contribution is (might be) tax deductibel.
Some French Madeleines might be a good idea.

Actually, my wife is vegetarian so the orange/green bean drink sounds like something she'd cook up!

Thanks for splitting the juices with us, much appreciated.

We'll pick up some grape, apple and fruit punch or something along those lines.

See you guys tomorrow!

I don't speak French, but if you tell me where she lives, I will be happy to pick her up.

The breakfast was a good turn out, we have 30+ people came to join.

Thanks to Glen and Bev (MrMellowYellow), CR&PW&JB and Laura (GreenCactus) for your kind contribution of breakfast. You guys are great.

Can't wait for the next one (MoS), it will be end of the year breakfast meet, will definitely be a fun one.
