first flight !
Finally!
I got a chance to pack my Surly Traveler’s Check
and take it on a flight for an excellent Florida vacation!
As you can see, it is a very snug fit in the case! It took me a while to pack it for the first time.
With it’s hard-sided wheeled case and the whole bike inside, it all weighed only 49 lbs. (22kg)
First bag is free on JetBlue, but it has to be under 50.
Good thing I stashed those wrenches in my other half’s duffle bag!
Flew into Tampa and stayed just over the Skyway Bridge from St. Petersburg in Manatee County.
One night I saw the Robinson nature preserve on the local cable access and the next day I was there biking in it!
The historic ‘Valentine House’ was barged in off an island and now rests at the head of the reserve path.
