Well it’s 2 am and I’ve got the Subie all packed for the Drive back East. It took 1h45 and probably would have been much faster if I’d done it at 4 pm in full sunlight like I’d Planned to, but some things you just can’t change. I’m pretty stoked for a couple of reasons. 1) I’m only 4 days ‘late’ leaving.
2) all my stuff fit in the subie. Every now and then it doesn’ fit, and nothing freaks me out more than not being able to fit everything in the Subie. I was so nervous about this that I actually removed 99% of the crap, er, my stuff, from the old girl (100% involves vacuuming), and folded (rolled) my clothes. The net result is that I could fit another complete bike, wheelset and still be able to see out the back window.
I’m going to be heading into Radio silence for a bit. I don’t know how long, because I’m sending my HP back to HP again (the first two times they didn’t fix it.. But this time they think they can… Who knows) I’m backing things up this time.
Plus It’s a 3 day drive if I don’t stop by Hebi’s place in Durango, Denver, somewhere in Colorado that Flagstaff is on the way to. His mom sent me the address and MapQuest did the rest.
I was bored and rested last week, which is rare, and led to my snagging the cover of The underground. I guess I can retire from the internet now as I’ve been featured on Cycling News, Canadian Cyclist, DC, and the Underground (all the sites I ever look at) plus Cameltoe, and Velonews, which I don’t really care about.
Of course I have come things on e-bay but since I was supposed to be back east by now, and they were targeted to end as I arrived in Lenoxdale, birth town of B-Ret.
OK now it’s 3:30 am and I just got an e-mail from hackler, which means he’s awake and getting ready for work in Mass. Sleep I must.
