After a long day of travel, we are finally back home in Eagle. Sunday after the criterium, we got Heather’s bike packed up and decided to go out and drop it off that night, instead of waiting until Monday. What we thought was going to be an easy task turned out to be a stressful adventure…at least for me. I tend to get easily stressed out when things don’t go as planned. Through a comedy of errors at three different drop-off locations, we finally got the bike dropped off, but it took us two hours to do so! After that, we were able to spend some relaxing time together and sleep in Monday morning since we were taking a late morning flight.

Heather checked flights first thing when we awoke and everything looked good for that flight. But when we got to the airport we found out our flight was oversold. We couldn’t understand how that could be, but it sounded like other airlines were purchasing tickets from Delta, effectively putting our chances of getting out on the first two flights to nil. So we ended up “hanging out” at the airport for 8 hours and didn’t finally get home until close to midnight. But at least we didn’t have to spend the night at the airport! After this hectic weekend, both Heather and I are glad there’s no more bike-related travel in the near future.
