Day 135: Beverly - Boxing the bikes
Separation anxiety from the bikes
Once again Tony is up before the rest of us and has fixed individual drip coffees. He has invited a cycling friend of his to come by and we visit awhile and Tony leaves for work. Our plan today is to take it easy with only one major task: taking the bikes to Centraal Bike Shop to be boxed and shipped by Bike Flights.
We’ve been on tours before where boxing the bikes are needed to get to the next stage of the trip. Patrick would do the boxing and use the time to clean the bikes and assess what parts might need replacing.
This time is different. Someone else is shipping the bikes. And this time we will not be cycling home. We walk with our bikes to the bike shop with Frosene and John. We all spend a time looking at the downtown area and in a thrift shop for books.
All afternoon, we relax in Tony’s house. We catch up on the journal and Rachel fixes boerenkool stamppot for dinner.
