Every time that I put on this ride I wonder if it's worth doing. Every time that I've finished with it I decide that of course I have to do it again next year. We had 6 riders yesterday and, as near as I can tell, everybody had a congenial time. Hope to see a few more folks next year.

Thanks for putting the ride together!

We had a marvelous time. It was really worth the trip to meet you and Jerry, and to see Michael again.
With the travel distance, and the fact that we need new adventures, I doubt we will be doing it again, but I highly recommend that others make the trip to join in.
The riding is great, and so is the company.
Many thanks to you and Michael for putting it together.

Hi all,

I just entered the personal narratives of your KT Social as a so-called "Fifty-Plus Annual Ride" on the "Chronicle of the 50+ Annual Rides.. "Does anybody want to identify these participants? Did you have the same photographer as last time?

The two on the left are not forum members. I hope Retro Grouch or Jerry will help me out here, I cannot remember the lady's name. The gent was named Tim if my memory serves. (They are not a couple)
Next in the red shirt is me, then JerrySTL and Retro Grouch in the plus 50 jersey.
My wife shot this photo. I did not get to meet the photographer from last year, but I heard all about her.

Woman's name is Mary Ellen, another recumbent tricycle rider. I used to ride occasionally with her and her (now deceased) husband.

That's it, thanks for coming to my rescue.
Thanks again for organizing this ride. It was a lot of fun.
