Through the Crazyguy site I discovered that Rich and his wife, Molly were flying in to Aberdeen UK from Duluth, Minnesota USA.
They have both toured in USA ( Texas Mississippi Quebec Idaho Washington - not all at once!) so I knew they were experienced folk. But I thought they might appreciate a welcoming face at the start of their tour - so cycled the 19 miles from my home to their airport hotel this morning.
Everything had gone to plan, bikes survived and assembled, a good nights sleep and hearty Scottish breakfast.
I was able to enjoy a brief chat with them and guided them the 4 or 5 miles to the start of the bike path North. They are heading to Inverness and then perhaps Orkney and the Western Isles.
Fly home in 4 weeks from Abderdeen - so maybe meet up to hear about their adventure.
I think they will be keeping a Crazyguy blog so search for Rich Hoeg / NorthStarNerd if intere4sted.
