Dave and I have known each other since 5th grade, and we spent many hours running together. By our freshman year of high school, I was having knee issues and took up biking and he stayed running. I would see Dave off and on over the years after high school, but we never did any activity together. That ended about six years ago when I made a bet with him that he lost and had to come out for a ride with me. We did a trail ride first, then I introduced him to the road and sold him the Giant bike he's been using since. It's always great getting a text from him seeing if I want company out on the road or in the woods. Just two old friends having fun.
