Saying Goodbye

Well the time has come to say goodbye to the bikes.  They were dropped off this morning at James Cargo near Heathrow ready to be put into a shipping container for their journey to Vancouver.



The bikes were inspected and given a pretty clear bill of health.  Staff were really impressed with Garys and couldn't find any damage to note at all which they were surprised about for a two year old bike.  Mine of course has the damage from chucking it down the North Circular a few months ago.




The guys at James Cargo were great and I have no worries about leaving my best friend with them, I'm sure they will look after her.  We were the first from the group to drop our bikes off, but the others are due either today or Monday.  They will then go into a container, uncrated, and onto the CAPLI which is due to sail on 12th June.  Hopefully I will be able to track the ship during its sailing.  Next time we see the bikes will be in Canada sometime around 20th July.  Bon Voyage!!

Thanks to Dad for following us down in the car and giving us a lift home.  Think he enjoyed it really.
