Before the journey

A box, I need a box for the black horse on which I will ride from Montreal to New York - and better shoes as well.

People in bicycle shops promise all sorts of things, but sometimes I am surprised of the outcome. A recent exchange of the breaks did not quite deliver the expected results, so what shall I make of the promise of a box for the bicycle?

Things ARE getting serious now because my journey to America will start on the 30st of August. Until then all the transport issues for the bicycle and the other items (panniers, sleeping bag, tent are all supposed to form ONE package for the airline) need to be sorted out.

But the How and Why of the planned cycling trip from Montreal to New York mustn't be forgotten, and this is what this blog is supposed to be good for. It should tell the story...
