Hi Guys,
Thanks again for all of the support. I called what serves as our "LBS" today to see if I could get a box for Chris's bike today. Our lbs is a teeny, tiny shop that builds beach cruisers.

They did however tell me that when they get their pick ups from UPS, that the delivery guy does not measure their boxes, it is a flat rate. I am assuming it is cheaper than the 2OO each way they want for DH's bike.

That being said, when I go to pick up the box today, I am going to tell them I am going to Nationals, and see if they will ship them for us. We will pay, but can we have the pick-up and drop off there. If we can get their UPS rate, it may help.

Once I get this detail taken care of, it will be a huge load off.

I think everything just converged at once and is wearing me down.

I will have three days before the race once we arrive, so I can chill a bit and enjoy the experience.
