We arrived Glasgow airport well early, as per usual. Journey time estimate was sandbagged to allow for problems en route which was a good idea as we ran into an accident and road closure before we'd even gone 2 miles! The remaining drive was uneventful. We'd lost count of the number of times we'd repacked to keep within the weight limits so were a bit nervous as the 24.8kg bike bags went on the scales ...at just 23kg. Bonus. The carefully calibrated carry-ons weren't even weighed. Plenty of scope for shopping then! Now relaxing in Dubai lounge with a loooong wait until our connection and a meet with the other riders flying in from Manchester and London. At least there's plenty of time for the bikes to make the transfer (unlike our return from Vienna after the Danube!). Only cloud on the horizon is that, having avoided almost all social contact for the preceding week to mitigate the risk of catching anything, we've been surrounded by coughers and sneezers on the flight. My nose is now starting to stream so I'm bracing myself for a cold to start the holiday with. Brilliant!
