In the autumn of 2022, Susan and Ron Crump, a retired couple from Kentucky in the USA set off on their first cycle tour. Instead of dipping their toes in the shallow end of the cycle touring pool, they plunged into the deep end by embarking upon a 3,500km cycle from Amsterdam to Athens. Along with two more experienced cycle touring friends – Pam and Ralph – this is the story of their trip; the preparation, the execution and the aftermath. They may have been jumping for joy upon arrival in Athens but were they jumping for joy throughout the cycle? And has the trip been a springboard for future rides or will their next visit to Europe be on a cruise ship?

Uplifting stuff as always. Perfect for relaxed listening on a rainy British afternoon with tea and biscuits. (Just thought I’d celebrate the clichรฉ!)
Thanks Rob. Nothing wrong with a good clichรฉ ๐
I’ve really enjoyed this. Great couple and your hosting was spot on Andrew.
Thanks. Yes, they were great interviewees!
It was a pleasure working with Andrew in the recording of the Podcast. I listened to many of his episodes while getting ready for our Amsterdam to Athens tour. I hope this particular episode inspires someone, somewhere to step out of their comfort zone and ride. Many thanks to our more experienced friends – we appreciate you, your patience, and your kindness.
Thanks Susan. It was great working with you ๐๐ดโโ๏ธ
