Old Friends !

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.

I've cycled for nearly 60 years with my old neighborhood/school buddy Bob, starting in the 1960s. In the 70s we took our first bike tour, 1000 miles around Lake Michigan from our home in Chicago. Though we now live in different states, we get together almost every year for at least one day of cycling. We share other interests, but it's mainly cycling that's kept us in touch over the years.

My wife and I are old cycling friends too. We've been cycling together for over forty years now. Bob likes her too.
