Ringo Starr & His All Star Band, Sep 26

Outstanding performance by Ringo Starr & His All Star Band!! Unfortunately Debbie injured her wrist and was unable to attend... which was fortunate for me because I got to be the stand in 😊 The concert tickets were Donna's birthday present from Dad. I know they loved the show, as did Dad and I. 


Ringo's band consisted of  musical talent I wouldn't have known by their individual names, but I knew the bands they were a part of. Here we have Edgar Winter on keyboard (his all-time hit was Frankenstein), Colin Hay on guitar (from the band Down Under, with hit song Who Can it Be Now), Steve Lukather (from the band Toto, with the song Africa), Warren Ham (from the band Men at Work, with the song Overkill), Gregg Bissonette (on drums... not sure what band he comes from or if he is just a drummer that pops in and out of others bands, but I do know he was impressive), and Hamish Stuart (from the band Average White Band, which I didn't know, but that's ok, I still enjoyed his contribution to the line up). And, of course, Ringo Starr on the drums. They did some classic Ringo songs like With a Little Help from my Friends and Yellow Submarine among others. The thing I thought so really cool is that they all shared the spotlight and played their hit songs. The musical talent was fantastic!! It was also a really fun, positive show. The guys were hamming it up and joking with the crowd. So much fun!! And I kinds digged the hippy "peace and love" vibe they had going. Much needed in this world's time of troubles.

Bar Harbor/Acadia NP, Woman Tours, Jun 15-19

Image
  What an awesome trip this was!!! The scenery and cycling was amazing. I can't wait to return. Here's a picture dump.  This is the trailer from the tour company. There were two guides, Melanie and Ruth. They did a fantastic job keeping our bikes ready to go and keeping the group of us happy. I will definitely be taking another one of their tours, I just need to decide which one. The harbor view from our hotel. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. The rooms were great, the lobby, restaurant, and breakfast spots were fantastic, and location was amazing. Except for one day when we took a ferry to our ride start, all the rides left right from the hotel and within a mile or two you were in the national park. There were from day one. We were all getting acquainted with out bikes. Some people brought theirs from home, but I think most were rentals. I rented an e-bike and boy was I in heaven!! I highly recommend it if you are going to b in hills and you are on vacatio...

Happy Thanksgiving, Nov 24

 We had a nice day with family at the Beach House on Treasure Island. Same crowd. Jennifer even joined us from KY and Aunt Sandi from NY. Very nice day and week! Dad getting ready to crave the turkey. Dad, Debbie, and Sandi "collaborating". The kitchen was a little hectic to say the least! Donna and I on the beach at sunset. Jen and I checking out the sandcastles before hitting the road back to Orlando the day after Thanksgiving. These are professional sand castle makers, btw!!!

FFW Horrible Hundred, Nov 20

Image
 It was a truly horrible day for the FFW Horrible Hundred (cold and rainy). Thankfully, I was at the SAG stop putting pickles in little paper cups rather than riding my bike!! It was a fun weekend none-the-less. My fellow volunteers were nice and the riders coming through were terrific and very appreciative of our offerings. One of these years I'll have to ride the hills, but maybe not 100 miles! Riders enjoying their pickle juice (and other snacks)!
