Except for business, I rarely travel (let alone vacation) without Sherry. The reason is simple. We love spending time together. But every now and then, it’s time to head out with the boys on a good old-fashioned road trip. These road trips are always centered around cycling but there is always a little more to them then that.
I just got home yesterday for such an adventure. Myself and two other good friends made our way from Sonoma County down to San Diego for 4 days of “cycling”.
Now, don’t take those quotes around the word cycling too seriously. We did ride our bikes. In fact, we rode them a lot! But this trip was about way more then just cycling. (If you want to read more about the cycling part, check out Lee’s Life Adventure, my cycling blog.)
Along with the phenomenal cycling we also drank our fair share of excellent wine and beer. We ate in national food chains, local restaurants, and in the car. We stayed in a Bed & Breakfast style hotel, your standard run-of-the-mill hotel, and an Indian casino. And we shared a ton of laughs.
When you think about it, the “real” purpose behind this trip was a chance to hang out together as friends. To spend some time with each other chatting, laughing, telling stories, poking fun at each other, and basically just being boys again. The cycling was just the catalyst that got the trip started.
As I think back about this trip, it will not be the cycling that made it successful. It was time spent laughing with good friends. That’s what I will cherish the most about this trip.
Au revoir!
