ruth is home!

ms ruth fuchs is home finally after spending 3 yrs, 7 mths, 3 weeks away from her home germany.

ruth is quite an important part of the puzzle as to why i took on the cycling expedition. when i first met ruth, it was nov 2005 and i was taking a bunch of st teresa's girls to OB Lumut. she was there to visit kiwi instructor julie, a friend of hers who had worked in a ski resort together.

i saw her cycling on the malaysian highway while accompanying the girls from their trek back to base. she was cranking it up and i was wondering to myself if i would get to know her... just to know what it was like to bike tour around.

ruth is a truly amazing lady. she left home to bike tour and work at the same time thru nz and aus, both of which she biked thru consequently. to get herself home (in the most inexpensive fashion), she flew to singapore and biked her way into china. hopped onto the trans-siberia train into russia and biked her way to germany from there.

respect!
