I arranged (agreed) to take Dave for a run today on the bike, whether I was staying the night or not, but somehow it never happened. Candy went off to work and when he got back around 11am, we sat with Dave explaining the day’s events to him. Dave then spent most of the morning apologising, and when Candy went back to work Dave and I really had the chance to catch up. The day flowed and we talked for hours about the years passed and work done.
I didn’t get to ride, and I didn’t get to ride with Dave and that was a shame, but at least there will be other occasions. I will go back and visit Dave he is a friend and someone I respect. We can have a laugh, a drink and yes Dave, if you ask very nicely I will even let you beat me at pool. I stand no chance of winning anyway, between you and my brother, the pair of you always could fleece just about anybody, so sorry not for cash. Hahaha.
I said goodbye to Candy and Dave, I wasn’t sure when I see either next, but at least when I was ready to go I was leaving on good terms and with those memories which really make the whole trip really worth it. The road beckoned and just as last year when I had stayed with Nick and his family, lovely though it was to meet people, say hello to people, at some point you get that itch and know it’s time to move on.
