I actually might have had the opportunity to ask the same question at a red signal a few hundred feet beyond where I leave that road, but I suffered an unaccustomed fit of common sense and maturity and went on my way.

Got to ride mtb today with @LesterOfPuppets and @Racer Ex. Had a very fine time, although I was very tired by the end. Wow those guys are good on a mtb. 
We rode a route that I rode solo last year and I pretty much rode everything better than a year ago, so- progress.
The out to dinner with everybody, Mr. H and @RamonaW too. It was really fun and great to meet BF people IRL.
Maddenly, my iphone had some many pics on it that I got nothing. Not enough storage to even snap some pics. #epicfotofail

As my parents got into their late eighties and early nineties, the car showed more and more dings when I visited. Sadly, the BMV kept giving them licences to drive. The state of Virginia didn't even require a test when they moved from Ohio. I was not comfortable riding with either one of them, shortly before they, themselves, decided it was time. System fail.

On our Danube river cruise there was a somewhat younger crowd - we were on our feet nearly every day walking one place or another. Lots of stairs - palaces and castles generally don't have elevators.
There were a couple of bike excursions - one day there was a 26-mile bike ride (boat went on ahead to pick up the people at the end of the ride), and a couple of shorter bike rides along the way.

Ive taken two cycling cruises in Europe. Santana tandems will charter a small cruise ship and fill it with tandem teams. They ride all day and meet the ship down the coast that night. Great trips but expensive.

10 lashes, however, for the fotofail.

I'm not one that should be talking about fotofail, I took plenty of vacation photos but have posted hardly none. Here's a few from our stay in New Orleans where our cruise disembarked.
The legendary Bourbon Street on a Sunday morning when it's relatively quiet. Relatively.
This isn't Bourbon Street but it was an appealing, photogenic street to me.

Cool pictures, Bill.
I'm thinking I would eat chicken from a place that has "chicken shack" in their name. I see there's even a Starbucks encroaching into the pic.

Also almost forgot to mention, we had lunch one day with @Jadesfire. Such a lovely young lady, it was a real pleasure to meet her.

Here once you reach a certain age, maybe 75, maybe 80, you have to not only sit your drivers license each year, you have to have a medical first.

As penance for the photo fail you should go and make a contribution to A&S.
