Last Weekend for Preparation

This was our last weekend in preparation for the trip.  We had some help from Jeremy and his son Kaaj when we went out for a training ride.  I thought it would be a nice 18 to 20 mile ride but Ileana decided that my plans for a short ride just weren't enough for her.  After we were done riding, she continued on for another 20 miles...

Kaaj enjoyed riding in the trailer, although I am getting the feeling that it won't be long before he is itching to do the riding himself.  He has a balance bike with no pedals that he is very good at riding and really enjoys; it looks like he'll be ready to start pedaling soon!

I started packing the bikes up in the afternoon.  I always underestimate how much time this takes so I was only able to get mine completed.  I will finish Ileana's tonight and drop them off at FedEx tomorrow morning.  If all goes as planned they will be waiting for us in Milwaukee (hopefully undamaged).

5 more days and we'll be off.  We plan to do a couple more rides this week before we go.
