Live to Ride...Ride to Eat

[LongRanger_imp]

MTC’s 20-mile coffee ride today inspired me to get off my duff, grab my riding gear, and get some breakfast before the skies opened up. I’ve been riding my CB so much this summer that my other toys have gone dormant, so I wheeled out the K1200RS, mostly out of guilt for not riding it lately. I’ve owned this bike since new (21 years, 135k miles) and forgot how smooth and powerful it is. It's one of my all-time favorites.

The place I patronized is adjacent to an abandoned rubber factory and has a gritty, working-class feel to it. They serve breakfast 24 hours/day and have been winning Best of Denver awards for years. They've even been tagged as one of Esquire magazine’s “Top 50 Best Breakfasts in America.” Definitely my kind of place. The waitresses have been there for a million years. They aren’t pretty but they all wear aprons, call you “honey” and “dear,” and know their way around. I like it. The service was impeccable and the food, as always, was perfect. $8.50 for everything you see here.
