Jen Rahn commented on a photo in To Rimini

Young people demonstrating how to spread Covid. It's not a mask .. it's a chin accessory!

Fascinating and beautiful mural. Would love to hear the story behind it.

The bike is still clearly the star of the show. Nice!

And the bystanders make for interesting cultural information, especially the woman on the left. She is representing The Brand, and the mask has not fogged her glasses enough to discourage her Device from hijacking her attention. I hope she's just looking at a text message about what she needs to pick up at the grocery store!

The Classens could have their own private suite here!

Walking distance to a grocery store is always nice. I can't remember if the cave in Catalonia accommodates that wish .. so, maybe Pesaro is a better fit?

And Ron might disagree on our affinity for sleeping in a tent ...

I'd prefer a comfy bed out of the elements. Maybe a wall bed or an inflatable mattress?

My Rusty Spanish might help with communication in Italy or Spain(??)

Wait just a minute there. I’m not ready to give up the vagabond life! I’d love to hear about our friends wonderful experiences but only if I can go with them!

Perfect. Running a B&B s our dream retirement job! We can stay inside making small talk and doing all the work, listening to our friends say what a fine day they just had. Enough of this crazy vagabond lifestyle!

OK, find something, send photos. Needs storage for a dozen bicycles, eh. Could be run as a Cycleblaze B&B.

I imagine it’s cheaper here than on the Loire - and warmer and sunnier too! A definite plus. Actually, it looks like it would be a fine place for aging cyclists to continue on with their passion as long as their joints hold up. Miles of flat, safe coastal riding in one direction, and beautiful but not too challenging hills in the others. And you’re only a day’s train ride from some of your favorite destinations elsewhere on the continent.

I love how flexible you Grumbys are, Jen. Two years ago you were all set to join us in a cave on the coast of Catalonia. Don’t you have any minimum requirements at all?

We have sometimes thought about buying a little home base, somewhere in Europe on a major bike route. But it would take work and language ability to navigate the local purchasing, and then arranging for power. water. etc. We might be getting too old to initiate this, but hey we sure could chip in to something!

p.s. We do speak French. There has to be something cheap in those crumbly white villages in France? For example, we noticed Beaugency, on the Loire between Orleans and Tours - pictured on Day 75 of Grampies Ride Again! But hey, Pesaro could be fine too!

Very tempting, alright. And it’s so well connected! We could hop a train in the morning and make it to your place in time for dinner.

Thank you for your input, Keith. It’s good that we didn’t just buy the first place we saw on impulse. Always good to allow time until all the requirements are known.

Pesaro would make a great location for the next Cycleblaze get together Could Kathleen and I get first dibs on the spare bedroom please? A king size bed would be great but queen size is acceptable. Remember to get a place that could accommodate tents as several Cycleblaze members prefer camping.

No, and I should have worded it differently because I know it’s not a locust. The growth pattern and leaves aren’t right either. It does remind me of one though.
