I have a friend that I ride with, female, about a quarter century younger than me. Memorial day weekend, she's meeting me in my partner's home town to ride for a few days. We will be staying in my partner's parent's house on the Hudson river. My partner has chosen not to come. I will visit her mother, who's in assisted care across the river, with my friend; they know of each other, but have never met. Life is not without risk.
