Send-Off ⏩
My road bike got the send-off today. It will probably get to Iowa before I do; but I don’t want (or need) the hassle of trying to travel by air with a bicycle to haul along!
If I end up doing repeat RAGBRAIs, I might want to invest in a bicycle travel case. It would probably save me considerable money if I do RAGBRAI many times. The usual catch is, where can I keep it? I might soon want to give it the send-off, so I can free up some space!
And now I’m working to take care of all those things we have to do before we travel: double-checking reservations and so on.
Double-Checking ✅
Double-checking is a bit of a headache; but it can save bigger headaches on travel day! Who wants to arrive at the airport, only to discover they’ve forgotten something vital? That might mean no send-off at all; and who wants that?
Double-checking travel arrangements is only one item on my to-do list. I keep experimenting with how I’m going to pack my duffle bags. I’m amazed at how much stuff I need to take along; and many items are the ones that I use daily without a thought. They’re always there; so I take them for granted. I have to make a special effort to remember that I need to pack them!
But the effort is worth it for a smooth trip, and an easy send-off.

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
