It's nice that you had a chance catching up with your former riding buddies.I got back to Japan recently after a month in Virginia & Indiana.
I left when the rain was getting old and now that I am back, the heat is nice.... yes, I did commute yesterday with Jetlag so I could look and feel my best at the office...
But back to Virginia...
This picture was taken about a decade ago...
And this picture was a couple weeks ago.
My buddy Jimmy and his wife. We used to ride together monthly before I moved to Japan. We managed a weekend of camping and riding while my wife and kids were staying with the grandparents. What you can't tell from the picture is there are 2 prosthetic hips, some metal bits here and there, several others surgeries, career changes, 1 business started and another business bought, etc...
Then there is Carrie... ten years later, she is still the same.
One of the bonuses riding with her - she is an Emergency Room nurse.
Though, while your friends are still riding the same bikes, you got (at least) one new bike for every year that you're in Japan now .
