14 Days! 14 Days???

Do we really only have 14 days until we leave for Green Bay? OMG ... where did the time go? Dave got a good ride in last night, but I had to light his way home via car - picking him up in Blair at 9:30 and giving him headlights for the rest of the 13-mile ride to our house. He got 60 miles in. The weather will hopefully hold out for the next 2 weeks so he gets some great long rides.

Time to start setting out our stuff to pack. Guess we can't do our usual "toss everything in a bag the night before" routine (or, as Dave packs, the morning of). Starting to fret about how to pack for a month, how to bring all the things Dave needs (yes, I'm bringing a small first-aid kit!), uncertainty about what we can buy there and how accessible things will be (and how expensive!). I heard diesel is cheaper in Europe, so cross your fingers on that.

Shout out to our biker friend Ian Gray, who left his stick-shift car at our house for two weeks for me to practice on while he travels. Thank you, Ian. It's still in one piece and I haven't ground the gears ... yet.
