well, after 2 hours of sleep, 20 minutes of pleading with northwest airlines not to charge me an oversize fee, and 7 hours in the air I made it.
the bike is back together and I'm too ****ing tired to even think of riding tonight.
plus - although the house I'm staying in has a million kids and a million bikes, there isnt a single floor pump here.

can anyone reccomend a shop somewhere near pratt where i can get some air in my tires?
I used my flat repair pump as best I can, but that really only gets me 80psi max.

adventures start tomorrow!

thanks again to everyone for the suggestions.
