Departure is imminent

Rumor has it that Goat managed to get all his gear together and make his flight. I know that he wasn’t even able to get his frame until this morning. Just a few hours before he got on a plane in San Francisco.

It has proven extremely difficult fitting everything into boxes. The Xtracycle and bike do not fit well in such close quarters. As if it were a Rubik’s Cube, after rearranging the bike pieces enough, it managed to fit.

Unfortunately, I decided to weigh my luggage and discovered the depressing reality that I will have at least 50 pounds of food/gear, on top of a bike that will weigh about the same.It is now 2 AM and I’m pretending to be able to finish preparing for this trip.

I am hoping Sean is able to get everything together smoothly. I look forward to flying from Seattle to Fairbanks with him.

An odd arrangements of flights we have. After Sean and I arrive in Fairbanks, I fly down to Anchorage and he flies up to Barrow, and then all three of us will hopefully converge in Prudhoe Bay.

Wish us luck and look for future updates.

    Hey Jacob –
    I’m really stoked about this trip you guys are taking. Also – noticed that you will be going through Colorado and I don’t know what the timing will end up being, but if possible I know that Sean and I would love to meet up with you guys and help you re-fuel with anything you are needing at that point. We live in Boulder but we are only hours away from the Continental Divide, so let us know. Cheers.
