Short story as we're going out to dinner - more later.

I was dismounting at the barriers on the second lap when I accidentally kicked JiJi's tail. IT FELL OFF!

Other than that, the front held up just fine. I will take pictures so you can see how I attached the front to the bike. The secret is to use a really really good bike box for your cardboard. Trek packs their new bikes in a double corrugated cardboard box. The Fuji's and Schwinn's aren't as strong. The Orbea's come in a good box too so maybe any of the higher end bike boxes will do!

Hit your shop up for their boxes. They're more than likely going in the trash anyways. Oh and don't wait to start your project until the day before the race either...

Oh and Mr. Silver - all of my bikes have streamers and always will - promise
