Here is my flight itinerary:
Sudbury -> Toronto -> Los Angeles -> Sydney, Australia -> Auckland, NZ -> Wellington, NZ -> NELSON, NZ!!!
Right now, I'm trying to decide how best to bring my bike over. If I do travel with it as oversized luggage, I'll definitely be going the ol' cardboard box route as Josh suggested. But the thought of dragging a huge box with no wheels through three different airports throws me off. I looked into shipping it separately but that would cost about $1000 and my bike wouldn't arrive until January10th. That throws me off. I'm considering buying one there and selling it when I leave. I'm thrown off about that too. We'll see what happens!
As far as training goes, yay I'm a skier again! I used to ski for the Guelph Nordic Team but have been on a bit of a ski hiatus since I started training for biking. The trails here are groomed nicely and are lit up at night so they're hard to resist. It's so nice to train outside again in the winter. I'm trying to hit up the trails as much as possible before I leave for the season.
There's a family pond hockey game gaining intensity in my backyard right now. My team needs me. Time to strap on the blades!!
Thanks for reading!
Enjoy the snow!
