#1 Kunming Sept 11-1809-07-2013, 01:50 PM
I got the bike packed and ready to be shipped to Kunming. Naturally I forgot a few things, but I didn't expect the weather to take a nasty turn. Like I should have put the knobbies on. Oh well! I decided to give the Giant Loop soft bag the nod. The panniers don't work well for me. I keep bumping into stuff with that large bulk hanging off the sides, and besides they weight a lot (even when empty).

Attachment 13310Attachment 13309Andy, one of the members organized all of the crating and loading at his factory. The crates were all built by Andy in-house and he did a wonderful job. Here you see us loading my bike into the crate.

Thanks a lot, I'm hearing there is snow in the region and I'm a bit concerned about my tire choice. I'm running Metzler 70/30 tire which is pretty good in the rain and decent in the gravel, but snow is another animal. I really didn't think I'd have to brake out the heated clothing for this trip, but I'm thinking about doing just that.
