…taped myself inside the box.
It’s already, per Fedex, in Halifax.
BikeFlights [linkie] is absolutely the best!

Which way did it go…?
Well, that’s not a Trek bike in that box in any event.
So, oh momma, can this really be the end?
Is it really all over? Am I headed back to Alaska? After all that prep, am I done after only riding 60 miles/105 km?
Or am I headed for the next level? Just keep in mind what Treebeard said (in the movie at least):
I always like going South; somehow it feels like going downhill.
So, wherever you go, there you are. And we’ll see where we are in just a few days.

The Bike’s in Florida
I love it when a plan comes together. In just under three weeks I’ll join it.
Appointment with my GP doc today. Yesterday’s appointment with the endocrinologist went great. He took me off one of my meds (Glimiperide) and said I should discontinue a second (Invokana) when I start the ride. My A1C was 6.8, and he was impressed with my weight loss and BP of 96/66. I am too.
A Flying Bike?
No, not quite. But it reads like one of those “Brain Puzzler” problems:
You live in Alaska, your bicycle is in Portland Oregon, and you need it in Jacksonville, Florida by the start of next month so that it can be ready for a ride across the United States. What do you do?
Well, as far as I’m concerned you get on the web and go to BikeFlights [linkie].
In about 30 minutes and for a very reasonable amount you’ll have it handled. Of course, that length of time and the “reasonable amount” part doesn’t include coordination with two bike shops and the cost of disassembly and boxing at one end and reassembly at the other, but hey. It is great to know that this part of prep is completely handled, and all I need to do is turn up at the Zencog store in Jacksonville [linkie]
on July 19th with ID and off I go.
