On the way to the train....

Here we go!!! After 2 days of madly packing we are actually ready to go. 2 1/2 years and here it is. Packing bicycles into boxes for transportation was a bit of an adventure. "Just turn the handlebars and remove the pedals" to quote the Via Rail box. Sure!!! I guess only bicycles built for children fit into their boxes. With a little work on the box, and a whole lot of "Tuk" tape, they slid right in.

As promised in the last posting, an official weigh-in took place. Sue's bike and gear = 92 pounds. Kevin's bike and gear = 106 pounds. (I knew that I did not want to know this information.)

A thank you to both family and friends who have been so supportive of us as we prepared for this adventure. Your well wishes have truly been "inspiring". Next posting probably sometime in the next 3 1/2 days on board the train. Washago here we come!!! Vancouver look out!!!

Kevin = 1 Sue = 0
