Cyclist's Home's First Summer

The summer of 2011 will be the first summer cyclists on their way to North Cape will crash at The Cyclist's Home. Last summer I was inspired by Martin from Estonia to start my project. Before I met him I had toyed with the idea of hosting touring cyclists passing on their way to or from North Cape, or anywhere else, for that matter. But when I saw him standing outside the local grocery store trying to get out of the heavy rain, I realized I had my first guest.
  We ate together and talked for hours about cycling and hiking. He showed me some of his equipment, explaining that part of it was from his time in the former Sovjetunion army. Martin was now 70 and still fit. It was so much fun that I decided I had to follow through with my plans.
