Thanks, Dugh. I considered sending them to one of the Bike Weeks in the Carolinas but realized Owen had never made it all the way down to Key West. I liked the idea of having them take pictures at both ends of US1.
Their last hurrah was during their bachelor party week in Amsterdam. They keep to themselves these days. As for kids, once they start arriving they may be too tired for sex!
There was that one guy, standing in the shadows, with his phone out...
Vacation with the guys? I heard Owen has a conference in Minneapolis around 4th of July. I think they plan to fly to Milwaukee, spend a day or two there and then rent a bike again and ride through Wisconsin's north country. Maybe you can join them.
I like writing these bike trips and hopefully, each one has been a bit different. I've tried to share some of the joys I've experienced doing similar trips.
I enjoyed reading this, Cassie. Not sure I would have forgiven if I was Eli. And the bitch should be shot, even after what happened the sister resents the guys?
“I love this shit! I may just start wearing a brain bucket more often.” CJ momentarily squeezed the clutch lever with his left hand and turned the throttle twice with his right. The resulting VROOM, VROOM was music to his ears.
“Wanker!” Owen’s response was loud and clear through the helmet’s built-in speakers. “Why do you even have the GPS on the heads-up display? It’s not like we can get lost. US 1’s the only road to Key West.”
“Yeah, but this is too damn cool not to play with. It’
There is no heaven and there is no hell. There is no god and there is no devil. They are the creation of power hungry individuals seeking to dominate through fear.
I'm gonna have to read this a couple of times..

Even with a population supposedly more enlightened than the general public, GA members have varying opinions when it comes to firearms. Just as with the Bible, the US Constitution can be taken literally or interpreted in light of time passing. The pendulum of support for either side will continue to swing.
I agree! The way my brother and his wife raised their daughters has influenced how I had Cesar and Brett deal with CJ. Instead of sticking their head in the sand, they dealt with issues facing the girls in a realistic way. My brother punted on drugs; he asked me to talk my nieces on his behalf. It was most definitely not a 'You shall not' conversation, but an honest assessment of risks vs rewards.
I write popular fiction which hopefully entertains and helps readers forget about daily troubles for a little bit. Humor's always been part of my stories. Life's too short not to laugh as often as possible.
Sometimes, discretion is the best approach and ignorance is bliss. I'm sure the dads will eventually find out, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. The dads would probably trust Lucy and Ritchie's decision. Hell, when my oldest niece reached puberty, my sister-in-law told her if she got pregnant while still in school, she would drive the kid to the abortion clinic herself. That type of attitude influenced the events in the book.
My first visit to Washington DC was in 1975, the latest was in 2018. Through countless trips, I've seen physical changes and a marked increase in security personnel. The world adapts and moves forward but each terrorist attack robs us; not all changes are for the best.
