Ride To Eat: Hutchinson, KS – Saturday, March 29 - Roy’s BBQ, Kansas Cosmosphere, plus Pie in Yoder on the way home.
We’ll meet for lunch at Roy’s Hickory Pit Barbeque (1018 Nickerson Blvd, Hutchinson) at noon. This will give the KC guys some time to travel. The BBQ at Roy’s is excellent.
After lunch, we’ll ride to the Kansas Cosmosphere (1100 N. Plum St, Hutchinson.) The Cosmosphere (www.cosmo.org) has a German V1 and V2, an SR71, a T-38, a rocket sled, a 109 ft. Titan rocket, Russian and US space capsules (including the Liberty Bell 7, Gemini X, and Apollo 13 command module,) and innumerable other artifacts.
After touring the Cosmosphere, and letting the BBQ settle, we’ll have some Pie at the Carriage Crossing in Yoder (a few miles south of Hutchinson) before heading home. Yoder is a little Amish community, but the Carriage Crossing draws people from all around.
Roginoz will buy lunch for the rider traveling the farthest. (Even the three-meat combo, if you’re man - or woman - enough to tackle it.)
Roy’s BBQ is in the POIs on your Zumo. Zumo says it’s 239 miles from KCK, 3:41. Mapquest shows 221 miles from KCK, 3:40. Zumo says 51 miles from Wichita, 1:01. Mapquest shows 53 from Wichita, 1:05. Zumo says 586 miles from Lubbock, 8:48. (Riders from Lubbock get free pie, too.)
