The trip has officially started!
From the beginning planning stages I debated whether to ship or rent. The cost is comparable but in the end I decided to ship my bike. This gives me some flexibility in the overall schedule and allows me to ride a bike I know.
The ride to Lowell, MA was hot (90 degrees) but uneventful. It took about an hour to go through the motions at the shipping company but in the end, the bike was strapped to a pallet without incident.
To my amazement, when I checked the tracking info later in the day, the bike was already headed west. These shippers do not mess around.
