Quite right, Greg! We have had a lot of successful tours, we can't complain. That we are getting older is simply a reality that we have o factor in when planning future trips.

You've had a long run of successful tours, so there was bound to be a dud in there somewhere. Thank goodness your dud wasn't a total disaster; you weathered the challenges and the time you spent with the other Cycleblazers was rewarding for you, rewarding for them, and entertaining for us readers.

I look forward to reading about your future versions of "touring locally."

Yes, now I remember. My association was with the military Rest&Recreation RR.

Agreed with your comments, Bob! We need to reach Europe instead of having these lovely people traveling so far!

As you are originally from the 🇺🇸, Suzanne surely you recall the “3 R’s”.. reading, writing, and rithmetic ( arithmetic) ;) This was my thinking when I first wrote to you.. Hope the revised version of this is beneficial for you!

Thanks, Rachael! We were thinking of you two all the while we were driving through different kinds of (bad) weather and hoping it wasn't too bad where you were.

Three R's! That is a nice extension of the two R's. Happy to be home but will probably get itchy feet soon enough.

Thanks, Kathleen! So good to be back on my feet again.

Yes, indeed, so good to be home!

Thanks, Betsy! And now I am very much looking forward to reading how your tour in Morocco progresses.

Thanks, Bob! Less challenge sounds good, and more fun can never hurt!

Bavaria is worth it, looking forward to all CBers!

So glad we had some time together. That would be great, of course, if one of your itineraries came closer to here.

Thanks, Robyn! I'm looking forward to your upcoming tour, too.

Thanks, Tricia! Yes, we do have so much at our doorstep.
