day 14

today was the last day on the bike. im really behind schedule so im meeting my uncle in sioux falls today. i wasnt real sure about a good bike route from sioux city to sioux falls so im taking the bus.

rode to the bus station this morning to find that i had to box my bike. i even called greyhound about this and they didnt mention it. so i rode down the street to a bike shop luckily only 6 blocks away. they gave me a box and tools to use. had to disassemble most of my bike to fit it in the box. finally got it all packed up then realized i had to move 25 pounds of equipment...all in seperate bags and a 5' x 3' box down to the bus stop.

i ended up dragging it 3 blocks which was loud and awkward. a nice lady stopped and gave me a ride. what a sweetheart. her husband is a cyclist so she felt for me?

the bus station attendant was so pleased that he didnt charge me the 15 dollar extra luggage fee.
