Johnny and I made a great cycling team. We were both fit and strong on the bike and so we could cover a vast distance without much strain at all. When it came to where we were going to sleep for the night, I typically made the decisions. Every now and then Johnny and I would sleep at campsites, but more often than not we would cycle until it was getting dark and then pitch our tents on the side of the road. However, when it came to plotting and planning which route we needed to take, it was Johnny who took charge. He would spend hours gazing at the map trying to work out which would be the best route. As much as we were in sync when it came to cycling, we were just the opposite when it came to how we liked to spend our free time in the evenings. Eight years older than Johnny, I preferred to chill out in the evening around our campfire, if we had made one, or sit quietly with my book and music, whereas Johnny would rather be in a pub. If only I had met Johnny eight years before, when I was the same age that he was now, we would have had so much more in common. Like partners in crime, we would have roamed the streets together at night and drank into the early hours each morning as we made our way from one pub to the next in search of ladies. However, that just wasn’t my world anymore. The things that Johnny enjoyed doing in the evenings were the exact same things that I was now trying to stay well clear of. Quite often during our cycle trip Johnny would tell me that he was going out to have a quick beer and would only get back home after sunrise the next day.

“Just let me sleep for an hour or two and then wake me up, Jed,” he would say as he staggered into his tent. One of Johnny’s greatest qualities was that he was not only very driven, but he was incredibly easy going. He had such a great way of going with the flow and taking it one day at a time. Therefore, despite a hangover and hardly any sleep, he would be back on his bike as if there was no problem at all.
