Getting Ready

Swing Daddy 4

Bikes on the Rack

Lots to do in order to get ready for the trip. First needed to get a 2 inch hitch receiver put on Margie's SUV. Got it at U-Haul and they did a nice job and I was able to schedule it quickly. Next, I put on the Yakima Swing Daddy 4 Bike rack. I ordered this on Amazon and it arrived a little quicker than I thought. Was very easy to assemble. Just followed a U-Tube video. Was surprised at how heavy it was but I won't be taking it on and off very often. Put my two bikes on to test out. Got the Trek 520 assembled at the Trek shop since my normal shop was too busy to handle (one week turn-around).

Margie an I went out shopping for some food items and missing things. Turned out we had quite a load when we returned from shopping. Hope there is room for our other gear.

Maybe I went overboard on the power bars. Went to Costco and got 4 or 5 boxes, 120 plus bars. 21,000 calories if I eat them all.
