The very final end. My bike arrived home at the weekend delivered by the Paisley Velo Cycling Team!. When I arrived at Glasgow airport the plan had been to send it up the road by carrier. BUT- neither the very nice Glasgow cabbie nor I could find the carrier's depot, so we stopped at a bike shop to see if they knew directions.They did not , however Willie Cosh at 'Q Bikes' offered to bring the bike up when he next came. How good was that?!. What a great guy. There was a race around Invergordon on Sunday 11 August , so they dropped off the bike, went and checked out the route, then came back and kipped on the floors. I was at work or sleeping. They were away very early and I never even met them.
A big thank you to all the people who I have met on my travels..... Like Earl and Garry who let me tag along with them through Kentucky. Fellow cyclists, all the people who have acted as hosts.People like Bill and Zac who have helped me along the way. Matt in Nicholson who rescued me from a nights' camping in the city park. The fire stations, churches and small communities who treat cyclists so well, and make the trip such a great experience. The people like Rene at the airport, who just gave me a lift into Tacoma. Everybody in the USA for being so friendly, helpful and great.
Thank you to everybody who has donated money to the Highland Hospice.
The biggest thank you is reserved for Keith, who supported me all the way. Does not mind me disappearing for three months, but I think is happy to have me home!
