Bag O'Bike

Jerry and I are leaving for east Texas this afternoon, and I couldn't imagine going without the new tandem. We're flying ourselves in our new (to us) little Mooney four-seater, so we figured, we can take the bike. Especially this new one with its snazzy couplers. So Jerry de-coupled the bike and put it in wheel bags. It's amazing how little room it's going to take. I'm so excited. So we're packing some bike gear, our "regular" clothes, and we're leaving this afternoon. We're going to take our time getting there. Probably fly a couple of hours this afternoon and stay somewhere in Arizona, then the next day to west Texas, then soar on into Longview, the closest airport to where we're going-- that booming metropolis of Lone Star. We're staying a couple of miles from Jerry's mom's house. She rented out a bed and breakfast for us, Jerry's cousins and his aunt, so we'll have delightful transportation to get us around the lake to Judy and Dee's.
It's going to be an interesting trip. and I hope fun.
