Still the King of Packing

I cleaned my bike last night and packed it this evening when I got home from doing trail work. I'm all set for my flight on Wednesday. Getting everything situated was a bit of a chore, much more than I expected. However, I'm a bit anal about my bike, so I'm sure that accounted for most of the time. Repacking it for the return flight shouldn't be as time consuming; I hope.

Northwest has a 70-pound weight limit on checked luggage, so I went to Wal-Mart and bought myself a bathroom scale just to be sure about the weight. I used the rather unscientific method of weighing myself, then weighing myself holding the bike box, to determine how much it weighs. The box comes in at a hair under 64 pounds. This gives me some room for error, so I should be safe.

Now all I have to do is stuff a few more items in my backpack.

Look out Vermont! Here I come!
