Somewhere close that has quick service....You're talking more like 6am if we have a large group. That means we'll have to leave about 3:30 am ....LOL, no.... ROTFLMAO. I'll try....you guys have our phone numbers if we're not there in time to order.

Yeah, you're right. Check-in is 7:30 a.m. Maybe 5:30 even. I would assume there'd be someplace open early; it is a farm-town after all.

Grant said that 15 teams are signed up. Just one spot left!

He also gave me a list of restaurants. Only two are open early enough.

Atkinson-(about 10 miles east of Geneseo)
Cattle Club- opens @ 6:00 -on Rt 6. On the East
side of town across from Wyffels Hybrids in the Chicago
Stockyards bldg.

Annawan (about 18 miles east of Geneseo)
Purple Onion- opens @ 5:30 -on Rt 6. downtown.
(West of the 4 way stop on Rt. 6 about 300yds)

Cool! Then I guess you're officially in charge of where we go to eat and what time to meet there.

Oh fearless leader....

OK, I'm back.
It took me longer than expected to get in touch with Grant due to some long hours at work and crazy evenings at home with my wife starting up a new in-home business.

Anyway, I see you've already gotten the same info I got just minutes ago from Grant. Good, at least we're on the same page. Unless somebody sees the need to meet before 6am, my vote goes to the Cattle Club since Atkinson is closer to the check-in point than Annawan by several miles.

Alrighty. The latest message I got from Grant says that he wants us to start check-in at 7:10 a.m. So if we're meeting for breakfast, it better be as early as possible, or ...?

Oh, and I don't remember how to get there.[&:]

Bulz is still in charge. I agree that the Cattle Club is probably the best spot. Plus maybe we can drop the Wyffels name and get a discount.

We need to get there right at opening time if we're going make it. Speed eating will be helpful too. []

Oh my! Never put a skinny guy in charge of breakfast.












Just kidding Bulz. You'll do fine.

I hope their cook has a good work ethic, because we'll need to put away lots of fuel for all that walking. I was thinking of making a reservation, but getting an accurate count ofchow-hounds this late in the game would be a joke, so I'll just give them a heads-up with a possiblenumber of 30, and maybe see if they would consider opening a bit early to accomodate a crowd.

No worries,Carpsniper, I eat plenty, and often. It's just that this furnace I've got for a body burns up every darned thing I throw into it. I'm always eating at work, usuallywhen I'm supposed to be working.

I need your job! Wish I had time to eat! Anybody get the latest weather forecast?
