Training Night

Spook came home from work and we had a quick coffee before heading over to pick up Finn from Sam's house. We met Shannon just going out the door for a night out, so we negotiated with her Husband Steve, to find Finn.
They are taking a year out from a hectic life working in New York and living an hour outside it. They arrived in July and are set to leave in June. Steve invited us in for a beer. Spook was just having a quick one as he was going to get some more serious cycling in. After 2 hours, 4 beers and lot's of laughter (another American couple had called in), we thought we should get Finn home and fed. At this point Finn was just disappearing into the hot tub, so we agreed to go home and feed ourselves and then come back to take Finn home. I went back for him and got talking again, while Finn played snooker and table tennis in the games room. I got him home at 9.50pm,. having meant to get him home at 6pm. Spook didn't do any cycling, but did rise to the challenge of showing the Americans that he thought it probably WAS possible to cycle up that hill that they said was impossible. Sam lives in this house www.wanakalakehouse.co.nz No wonder Finn didn't want to come home.
