I arranged the shipping of my bike thru Bike Flights, they contract with FedEx and send you a pdf file for a prepaid shipping label through email. Last weekend I boxed up my bike, with foam insulation and zip ties and then dropped it off at the local FedEx Office location and crossed my fingers. Things turned out fine and it seems to be in the same shape it left home. I reassembled it on the hotel room floor, and with a little air in the tires will be ready to roll. It saved me from trying to get it on a Metro train, checking it as luggage on the train, and squeezing on the bus to Astoria. It went well.

Nice photos Joel, Mount Hood looks amazing. It hard to belief after all those years of going to the office everyday that you are on such an incredible journey,it is great being able to share the experience with you. Enjoy each day, you have planned well and worked hard to be ready for this trip. Looking forward to more photos and updates, it's already rather inspiring and motivating. Pennie
