Luckily Stephen has Premier gold status so we got a 70lb limit instead of the usual 50. We got our 68 lb bike boxes on the plane and we took off from Santa Barbara at our scheduled 5:15am.
Our shuttle driver Jim was friendly and had a can-do attitude which helped when we had to âshoehornâ our four bike boxes in his shuttle van. We arrived at our motel, the Rabbit Ears motel just in time for a short rainstorm. We re-assembled our bikes under the awning and took a walk downtown to find some supplies. Backdoor Sporting goods sold us our camping fuel (you canât transport that on the plane.)
A few beers at the brewery and a juicy burger put us in a good mood for our start tomorrow.
