precious cargo

Well the rain didn't let up, so I walked to Powell's, bought a poncho, asked nicely for three large garbage bags to protect my cardboard bicycle suitcase.

Molly, the owner of Velo Shop, made a valiant effort to talk me out of my plan, but nonetheless allowed me to use her shop space to attach box to bike, bags to box.

Jordan rode with me to his house from downtown. It took twice as long as usual, but we made it without incident.

Looking forward to a quiet night in, playing board games. Then it's up early to break down the bike and get to the airport.
