The bikers were off...
So Marie and I left Passau in the van and headed to the first meeting point.  We all enjoyed the beautiful blue skies along the not-so-blue Danube.  Lovely scenery, indeed!  (Marie drove even though she was recovering from a 24-hr flu bug)

Marie and I didn't wait long till the bikers arrived.
Our first "test" of meeting-up was a success!  

After a short break for lunch and a few group photos, the bikers were off again to enjoy the Danube!
