CHOCOLAY TOWNSHIP -- Two world travelers have made a stop in Chocolay Township on their way across North America.

Klaus and Doris Hoehle started their journey in Vancouver and plan to catch a plane in Boston to Amsterdam on October 13.  They stopped at the Albrecht residence in Chocolay Township, a family they met while participating in an iron man contest in Hawaii.

However, this is not their first trip the two have biked.  In 2006, they started in Germany and biked 32,000 miles around the world.

"Okay, we make a trip, but around the world you can only do one time, and so was our mind that we have a flight to Vancouver, and we start there, and we crossed America," said Klaus Hoehle.

Klaus and Doris say they are planning their next trip which would take them through Mongolia and into China.
