Saturday morning bike assembly

Everything came through no problem.  All the foam bits bits supplied by Bob Flint at Hastings Velo, along with a ton of zip ties and a few little plastic bits to protect the hubs and disks.  Plus, of course, the heavy duty bike boxes.

The next step is to re-distribute our stuff so that the weight is better balanced and we can find our stuff.  Right now, the trailer has all the light stuff (so that we didn’t exceed the check baggage limits).  I’m going to have to come up with a better way to ship the trailer than getting it most of the way into it’s own duffel and then dropping everything into plastic bags and taping them shut!  Although it worked this time…. Here’s a photo from before we left:

Elegant it is not, but everything made it here.  The true test starts tomorrow.
