The right jersey means more fun!

Rode in the Great Finger Lakes Bicycle Tour this past Saturday. After around 50 miles, stopped at the Wagner Winery and Brewery to have a couple of beers on their deck looking out over Lake Seneca. Here's a photo:


This is the second group of young ladies that wanted to have their picture taken with me on account of the jersey! A friend on the ride arrived while they were taking the photo and took this photo for me.

I think I'll get a few more of these jerseys!

Can you imagine if he'd been wearing a 50+ jersey?

Probably wouldn't have been able to post the picture without a "NSFW" warning.

Great photo. Was the picture your idea or theirs?

I was playing in a Dixieland band, and the sax player said "I feel like an old fart!" The banjo player responded without pause: "OK, I'll see if I can work one up for you."

MOD EDIT: inappropriate.

Great picture. If that were me, I'd have to have remained seated for a while after that.

Edit to add: I don't suppose now is a good time to mention that the jersey would have been more visible across a broader range of backgrounds if it were in the green-yellow spectral band? Aw, crap ... never mind. lol

Al - Their idea. I'd never have the guts to ask! This was the second group of young ladies that wanted to pose with me. The first group had already gone and I was more or less by myself again, when the second group showed up. This time of year, the Finger Lakes Region is full of wine tasting tours. Probably like Napa-Sonoma but with different wine. - Ed
