Trans Am Bike Race / TransAm / TABR

It's very quiet down here when you are on a flight!

I'm not paying for flight WiFi.

Currently in Chicago.

take a few decent tyre boots?

$25 for a shit sandwich and a Sam Adams IPA. Let the beer tour commence.

Baseball, wtf?

O'Hare? Awesome hot dog place in Terminal E.

No poking fun at baseball from the people who made up aussie rules football.

At least something happens in AFL.

No such thing as awesome hotdogs either. Eeew

Just trying and failing to work out on ward travel. Forgot second cycling kit too.

At least something happens in AFL.

Partially true because no one understands what has happened.

No such thing as awesome hotdogs either. Eeew

I give you a week before you crack.

Seen the route. Some of it I know, some I don't. Looks spectacular. Good luck!

Hope you brought your gun

gl hippy

with the drinking that is

Bike's up and running. Hangover from first night almost dissipated. Heading out with Wacker and some Dutchies I think for Chinese.

Need to ship bike box to Yorktown.

Can't you carry it on your bike?

Looks like USPS will hold for 30 days so booked bike flights shipping for about 85 bucks. Need to wheel it down to some Presort office tomorrow.

Hippy is currently outside North Coast Trucks and Equipment five miles down the course.

Well done hippy.

The race starts in 27 hours.

Go hipster!

Go hipster!

I see you've met WornCleat.

Gonna go for a long ride of my own tomorrow, longest one I've ever done.. and probably half as far as hippy will ride on the same day. Godspeed you mad bastard.

Still stressing because FedEx won't hold my bike box and bike flights have already taken my money and sent delivery slips. Fucking useless

Ugh. Can you ship it to a hotel or something who will hold it for you? Bikeflights are based in PDX I think and work with Fedex.. they might have some advice or ideas.

Sort me out a return flight and I'll get it home for you.
