My 1st Bike Packing Adventure
Before (Nerd) Before So my friend Melissa invited me to go biking packing. Well Mel, I don't have the gear, my bike is going to fall apart any moment, I don't know what I'm doing, and I'm not sure if I can get out of work...bla bla bla OK why not. She helped me track down some gear, I got my bike tuned-up and we made it happen. I got to her house late Friday because I slept straight through my alarm. Stupid work week had me exhausted. Thank God she wakes up earlier than the rooster. Figuring out how to get the gear to fit on my bike was a pain. There wasn't much room for the seat bag and we had to MacGyver the crap out of it. On our way up we stopped by Wally-Mart for more whiskey and guess what?!...I FORGOT MY STUPID PHONE. Luckily I realized this before getting back on the highway and we went back for it. LESSON LEARNED: I need to prepare/do everything at night because the mornings are dumb. Try to calm your jets of excitement and get some sleep. D
