Craig:

Since you will be there for nine days (minus two for travel days), I would consider leaving the bike at home and spending a morning shopping at Goodwill or the local equivalent. You can buy a bike for $20, it may be a beater, but in a couple hours and for less than the cost of two way shipping, you can have a street machine up and running. Leave it there, maybe someone will get interested, and you will have something to ride next time you are coerced into visiting too. Plus it will make your favorite ride at home all the more appealing when you finally get back. You might even find something sweet at the thrift store.
