Bike Packing/Carbo Load Tomorrow Night!

[Allie]

Hey Team!

2 days till departure!!! Who's excited?!? 

1) Tomorrow night we'll be having a bike packing/carbo load party at Evan and Nicki's.

- 6:30pm-8:30pm-ish.

- Bring: your bike, any and all BIKE TOOLS you have -- ie. torq wrench, pedal wrench, allan wrench (we will share but the more the merrier!)

- Most if not all bike boxes will be at Evan's.

- We will load bikes into U-haul after packed.

- Anyone who wants to practice transitions in the cul-de-sac with me before packing your bike, bring your shoes n such :)

Expect everyone to be there!!!! If you need to come late or leave early no worries but do need to pack your bike to guarantee a smooth departure Thurs am!

Evan is providing pasta and sauce.

We need: 

• 2 people to bring salad and/or some kind of side (veggies and hummus?)
• 1 person to bring fruit
• 1 person to bring bread
• anyone who wants to bring sweet yummies is more than welcome :)
• and if anyone is able/willing to bring some protein (grilled chicken or the like?) that'd be awesome but not necessary
• *please reply on this thread with what you are able to bring!!

We'll also be going over last-minute deets and logistics, our sched for the weekend, etc. so that we're all on the same page!

2) We need 2-3 people to volunteer to bring their bike pump to Tempe. Any takers? Respond on thread.

* remember, you can check bags for free on Southwest. that said please try to pack lightly because we'll all be squeezing into rental vans for transport over the weekend!

That's all for now, folks! See you tomorrow night, if not before!! 

And stay tuned for any updates from Rees/me.

In the meantime....HYDRATE!

If I can use the oven when I get there, I'll make kale chips. Their vegan! And my new favorite food. We should also figure out the aerohelmet situation before we leave. I know the Blooms donated two to the club and I'm picking up one from Durham Cycles today. We should bring them to Evan's house so people can try them on and decide who wants them.

There are a few aero helmets donated to the team in the storage room I can bring to Evan's. Anyone else have their own?

Also I have special presents for everyone on the Nationals team :) get excited!

[Michael Rees]

i can bring a bike pump! probably going to bring granola bars again this time, because it is pretty much all I can make with my limited kitchen. Allie, I am headed over to the storage room later today anyway, so i can grab the helmets if you want. i think in total, we have 3

Hey team,

I just finished checking everyone in for the flight tomorrow morning (including Margo, not including Hannah). In case you are not familiar with Southwest boarding process, they let you board based on the order you checked in, and there are no assigned seats. I checked us all in so that we can all board at the same time and hopefully get seats together. We are in boarding group B, which is the best we could get without being Southwest frequent fliers etc, so we should be good. Also, southwest does not require me to specify the number of checked bags at checkin, so you can still decide whether or not to check a bag. Based on their policy it seems like you will be able to check 1 bag for free (the bike will count as the second bag, and comes with a $50 fee which the team is covering).

I will hand out boarding passes tonight or tomorrow at the airport.

best,

-Evan
