Gotta get the bike there somehow! In my garage in Rhode Island my dad and I spent some hours disassembling the bike and trying to squeeze it into the shipping box. It took some creativity.
I also packed up all the gear I’d need for the trip. Fortunately I’ll be riding past plenty of Walmarts and gas stations so there’s always a place to grab more Slim Jim’s in an emergency. For my full gear list check out this link:

I haven’t entered weights for everything on that list, my bike is definitely a couple times heavier than whatever it says there. When I weighed it for shipping, my bike plus most of my gear was 85 lbs. I try not to stop too often when I’m riding, getting moving again makes me feel like one of those people that pulls the train with their teeth.
Hi Julian, you’re an inspiration to all, young and old! Please be safe.
