Bike Sebring 2016

 

Next year I'll crew at Sebring instead of ride.  Logistics is the issue. 

1. Had to disassemble the bike. 
2. Pack up the bike in plastic bike boxes (3). 
3. Schlep the boxes to FedEx. 
4. Ship the bike to Sebring.
5. Unpack and assemble the bike. 
6. Deal with a mechanical problem (broken RD hanger).  (Allan Duhm saved my bacon by getting a RD hanger from Leroy's Bikeworks in Lakeland, FL.  Without his generous help ... I'd'a been a simple, plain spectator). 
7. Ride. 
8. Disassemble the bike. 
9. Pack up the bike.
10. Schlep the bike boxes down to the hotel holding room.
11. Ship the boxes. 
12. Pick up the bike boxes at FedEx. 
13. Unpack the bike. 
14. Assemble the bike again.

So.  Crewing is waaay better.
