I called two "luxury" services (not with serious intent) that pick up and deliver sports equipment like golf clubs and bicycles to vacation destinations. To guarantee delivery on 9/28 to my hotel in San Diego, I would have to have (had) everything packed and ready for pickup today (Argh!). Furthermore, It wound cost 350 bucks! and that's for the budget luxury service -- Holy Crap!
I called the hotel and made sure they would recieve my equipment for my stay - they said no problem. I have to do some last minute work to the bike: lube and cleaning of the bike. Also, I planned to put on new tires and tubes, a new cassette and chain. I can't get the parts til wed.
I should be able to pack up the bike thurs w/ some of my camping gear. I called fedex to check on packing restrictions... no sweat w/ bike box and approx weight of eighty pounds. To guarantee delivery I must have it to them by mon morning. I plan to get it to Fedex this Friday afternoon. Estimated costs (w/insurance) is $150... So much for luxury services...
Looks like I'll be slumming around on my old Trek after wed.
Showtime is close...
