i've never packed up a bike for travel before and have been feeling a little anxious about it over the past couple of weeks because i've been imagining disastrous scenarios in which my bike shows up in scotland damaged and unrideable. but packing it was surprisingly easy and it feels safe and secure. i'm just about ready to fly out tomorrow, and all that remains is one last trip to the health food store. i learned a valuable lesson about packing food when i was in richmond in april of this year and i'm in no hurry to repeat that mistake. i'll bring what i can but my first priority once i've arrived in edinburgh will be to locate some fresh, healthy food and stock up for the week. i'm sure it's a wonderful substitute for any meal, but a week's worth of eating haggis already feels old.
