True enough, but when I take a weekend ride I prefer to head to the middle of nowhere vs the inner city.
It's about time for a new target anyway. So, since everybody has to eat, let's try this. Target is a picture of your bike at any of the eatin' places listed on this site: http://ridetoeat.com/ Bonus points for a review. 
The food at these places is uniformly good to excellent, and the reviews were all done by real riders. I even did a couple. And there are usually good riding roads in the area, as well. If you have issues getting the site to load, try the .kmz file here: http://ridetoeat.com/rte.kmz It's got all the places listed on the website. Useable in Google Earth and other mapping programs. |

For anybody who's interested...
The Ride to Eat website has apparently gone unmaintained/unloved for about 3 years. Too bad, really. It does have a bunch of good info. I used it a lot when I was traveling more & doing a bunch of long distance riding. I still keep the master list handy on my phone. The website won't open on my iPhone or my kid's Android phone, either, but it opens just fine on my laptop. The complete list list of stops is in the .kmz file here: http://ridetoeat.com/rte.kmz Google Earth on iPhone opens it just fine. Copy/paste the file URL into Safari, and you get this:  Attached FileOpen it in Google Earth, and you get this:  Attached FileZoom-and-tap gives you this:  Attached FileAgain, sorry about the tech issues. |

The armed guard made me more nervous than anyone, seeing as he was pretty keyed up and had his hand on the butt of his pistol. I rode past him making a loop around the McDonald's and he approached me as I was snapping pictures. Apparently some bearded white dude with a motorcycle is a bigger threat than the wandering hordes of zombies about. He told me he was calling the cops. I told him to go fuck himself. I wasn't in the mood. *Glock 20 with 15+1 Hornady 175gr Critical Duty and two spare mags.  Ok, next up: Your motorcycle with a small town city limits/population sign. Preferred population <1000.
