Wish I was off, I will be passing through that general area heading to Durham on Monday, I may stop and get lunch if time allows!

Anders Green · 07-28-2008, 05:37 AM

Lunchy-Times, coming up! I've had a really good chicken parsmasian kind of pizza there (and I'll say it: good chicken pizza is a pretty unusual thing, I generally steer clear). The grilled tuna sandwich was good too.

Hey, I'm going to try and make this. Barring crisis at work.

rrh1970 · 07-29-2008, 02:30 AM

by the time I made it there, I would have to turn back around and head back to work. I might see if I can a few extra minutes from the boss.

Anders Green · 07-29-2008, 12:07 PM

If only there were back roads between Apex and Durham... but living on 55, I know that such things are not as plentiful as they once were.

Dirty450 · 07-30-2008, 01:11 PM

Hey Anders and whomever else made it out. I caught wind of the get together too late today. Let's try again sometime. I have a few KTM buddies in the RTP area that I DS and offroad with and would be good to catch up sometime.

On another note...tomorrow night a few of us are going to catch the flick "A Long Way Down" at Brier Creek theater at 7:30. It has Ewan McGregor and his buddy Charlie Borwin riding GS's from Scotland to S. Africa. We may go to Carolina Ale House at Brier Creek prior to get some food/inspiration.

How about... next Wednesday?!!

If I wasn't headed up to Rally West Virginia tomorrow I would be up for some of that movie for sure!

Let's say Episode 2 will be at the same place as Episode 1 for simplicity. See you guys at "A Gracious Plenty" Wednesday 8/6 at 11:30 am. :)

Cheers,
Anders!

Mudboogers · 08-04-2008, 07:00 PM

Yo Anders,
I may show up for this (if ok w/you?)...

Btw, Joe at Poe's was trying to get you last week about your Bahahahahaja...
Brian

Anders Green · 08-05-2008, 06:26 AM

Fine by me!

Yup, we picked up the Baja... was that your WRX in there for AC work too? Apparently the SAME hose failed as on Amy's Baja's AC.

See everyone tomorrow!

Anders

Chad_NC · 09-15-2010, 07:15 AM

Need some help finding the place, go to HWY 147 and get off at the first exit? I think I remember someone telling me that..

NCStephen · 09-15-2010, 07:33 AM

If coming from Lillington I think I would do this.

Run up 401 to Fuquay Varina, Take 55 north to Durham (around Holly Springs, through Apex). Once coming into Durham you cross 54, then go under I-40 staying on 55 and in about 1 1/2 mile , a larger intersection with Cornwallis, (gas stations around etc), Go right on Cornwallis , cross tracks 100 yds, A Gracious Plenty 100 yds on left.

Look forward to seeing you there.
NCS

Chad_NC · 09-15-2010, 07:35 AM

Thanks NCS. I can do that. See you there.

chainslap · 09-15-2010, 08:14 AM

If I'm lucky I'll be at the DMV at lunch today.

Bike is failing inspection for various reasons. I think I got it all sorted out last night.

Crossing my fingers that I can get the bike to the shop without something falling off, breaking or deciding not to work when I get there.
