Met a neighbour for the 1st time Saturday when I was out puttering around on a vintage. He asked me if I'd like to ride on Sunday. Sure.


Found out on Sunday morning that he hasn't ridden his bike in 10 years. I was all kitted and ready for anything, but we had a nice conversation and about 8 miles of trails. He's physically in good shape and retiring in a few weeks, so I guess I have no alternative but to get the kid up to speed quickly so as to have another riding partner. Nice fellow.
