Shipping "The Precious"

[KathiCville]

Hey, Aden!

How are your knees??? Jane says you took quite a tumble yesterday, yikes!

When I went to MS back in April for a week-long bike tour, I used UPS to ship my bike. I think it cost me about $50-60 each way, including ample insurance. I packed it up, took it to the UPS store here in Cville and off it went. I inquired about a week ahead of time about the when's and how's of bringing the bike in to the store to be sure it reached its destination with a bit of time to spare.

I think Jane might have been the one who counseled me to use a shipping service like UPS rather than entrust my chariot to the airlines.

Be careful, would ya???? Enough reports about the self-inflicted carnage you've endured recently from slipping on bridges, clipping wheels, and generally smackin' the ground, LOL! Remember: You can't do a century if you're in a body cast!!

Edit: Hmm, I think the cost might have been more like $70, 'cause I 'overinsured' the bike a bit just to play it safe.....
