Breakfast Spots
Time to decide on a spot for December First Sunday. I'm leaning toward The Innwood (time to head east of the Blue Ridge), but most anywhere is fine with me.
Also, is there any interest in reinstating the BRB Boxing Day ride?

Boxing Day
It's a British thing. Boxing Day is the day after Christmas. The BRBs of 15 years ago or so had a ride on Boxing Day (weather permitting).

Gillie's sounds interesting, but it would be a long ride to breakfast for most of us. How about Boxing Day (Sunday Dec. 26) at the Tavern with a 10:00 AM meet-to-eat time. We'll need to check that they don't go on vacation while school is out.

We can start from the valley later in Spring and head for Highland and Bath Counties and WV. The roads west of McDowell were pretty nasty when I was there a couple weeks ago -- salt-encrusted, gritty, and scattered snow patches on some. That's likely to still be true in early March. I vote for a Piedmont ride.Dave wrote:So many restaurants and so little time
Do the folks in the valley want us to come their way?

Re: March Breakfast
The Cresecent Inn sounds good to me. Maybe we'll get a few easterners. Butch will be out of town (off the continent, actually) and the distance from Lexington probably isn't much different to Zion Crossroads than to Gordonsville.AntonLargiader wrote:I'm up for the Crescent. I agree with whoever didn't like the Innwood; it's OK but hole-like. But after this we will REALLY have to give the valley folks a break.
I think Cuzz's reopened. I'll check for future breakfast options.
