I am happy to report that Denise, Tygab, Deb W., Plushride, Patti, SurlyGirl, Massbike, Wavedancer, and a couple of other people I have met through this forum are not creepy or weird.
While I might think twice about going off and riding with a strange man, I think you will find that most people who are involved with the world of bike touring are down to earth and very nice.
