This is my polished blog. I also have an ugly blog acting as my "dead man's switch" where you are the switch.

I'm finally ready to begin my big ride.  I just shipped my trike to Palm Beach FL.  I fly there 19-Feb-2013 to begin my tour.

I've been preparing for this ride since I got my trike in May-2012.  I escaped the Texas heat with an eight day tour from Acton MA to West Paris ME and back in July-2012.  That was one of three tours I've done to prepare for this tour.

I've learned a lot from each tour.  I feel confident that I have worked things out.

The last thing I did before I packed my trike was to call a mini-van cab to take me on a quick ride.  I have in mind that if I have a bridge that is unsafe to cross I'll call a cab. 

It worked great.  Here I am all packed and ready for the tour.






I unpacked the trike and got ready to load everything in the cab.






No problem!  It was easy to load.  Next job was to crate everyting.





I packed and shipped the crate.

That was no small task.  The crate was 135 lbs, but I managed to load and unload it into Anne's station wagon.
