Even veteran bikers, with more than a few years under their belts, can get lost!! :)

On this fine Saturday morning, we were on a 100-mile circuit of a local lake. However, the route was new this year and part of the pack got separated from its leaders by a kamikaze motorist who inserted himself in the middle of the throng and then slowed to 15 mph for about 10 minutes.

So the big questions were: Where are we and where are we going? We eventually reconnected by cell phone, reunited, and had a fun rest of the trip.

Hi Jim,

Seeing is believing as they say and in my 40 years o' being a biker that's the first time I ever seen a drinks holder on a bike. Good shot of older bikers contemplating the map the colours are ok but there is a little oe on the blue t-shirt and the map. tfs.

Regards
Jon

OMG...that's us! My husband and I ride! A buncha old poots on motorcycles! I love this! A common scene around the roads of Texas! Always looking for the perfect road, no traffic, lots of curves and hills! This is a nice shot, perfect for the theme Jim! I like the tight crop on this. Do you ride?
B-)

HI Jim,
You can always rely on some jerk in a cage to want to get in on the act and spoil a good ride. This is a scene repeated many a time all over, great shot, plenty going on to keep you interested and each time I look its something different. The colours are great and the PoV good. Good cropping though I think I would like to have seen more of the bikes. TFS

HA!! I like this Jim - they needed a female to show them the way to go - I can read maps perfectly!!!
Well captured expressions - I am smiling as I write this - it really is funny!!!
Good shot

Hi Jim,
This is a very good entry for the theme!
Generally the men don't have need to read the map, at least when their wife are there ! I see this is different when they are between them! :)
I like your POV and the way you show concentration of this trio of old bikers.
Very nice! Annie
