I went to take part in the <a href=\"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/where-did-the-old-bike-ride-go\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Old Bike Ride<\/a> and found nobody there. I got back home and checked and found I had gone on the wrong day. Doh!<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, however, I made plans to go with the RMMRC to breakfast and then on what they call an &#8220;impromptu&#8221; ride. The idea is to meet at the Original Pancake House, have breakfast, and then decide where to go. Breakfast at 8, ride at 9.<\/p>\n<p>So I got to the pancake house about 8:05 and was puzzled not to see any bikes in the parking lot. Perhaps I&#8217;m the first to arrive. I went in and asked the hostess if there were some motorcycle guys there&#8211;we&#8217;re easy to spot, you know&#8211;and she said no, but you can look around. I did and there was no one.<\/p>\n<p>I hung around awhile. Nothing. The hostess suggested perhaps I had the wrong location. I was at 8000 E. Belleview and there is another at 5700 S. University. I didn&#8217;t think I was at the wrong place but no one was showing up here and that place was only 10 minutes away and I had time. So I headed on over.<\/p>\n<p>Got to 5700 S. University and nada. Not one bike. So now I&#8217;m thinking maybe I was the only one figuring on breakfast so I headed back to the first place, still with enough time to get there before 9.<\/p>\n<p>Back at 8000 E. Belleview&#8211;nada. What the hey? I was hungry&#8211;I hadn&#8217;t had breakfast&#8211;so I just came home. Of course the first thing I did was to check to make sure I hadn&#8217;t gone on the wrong day, as I had before. Nope. And it was definitely the Belleview location.<\/p>\n<p>So where the heck were the other guys? I still don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>We don&#8217;t know where we&#8217;re going, but we&#8217;re going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least the last time I went on a ride that wasn&#8217;t it had a simple explanation.
