We pack everything into zip lock gallon bags and press all the air out to compact it as much as possible. It looks like about 15 pounds of stuff when its all said and done. The area we are riding into has had lots of flooding so I call ahead to Local Motion in Burlington and get a non-biker on the phone. She said everything up north should be fine. We shall see. We have the route picked out and drive up to my nephews in Fairfax to drop the car and launch the next day. We have an enjoyable stay but are of course chomping at the bit.
