? <<...r by UPS to the hotel.>>

My vote would be by FedEx Ground to hotel. Taking it with you on the plane will prove very pricey and risky I think. Plus it's a hassle to get from airport to Leesburg with a big ass box... I will have tools etc to help get it together.

Friends; I *thought* I was gonna drive to Cirque with multiple bikes, but due to wor k (the curse of the drinking class) that is not going to happen and I have to fly. I want to ride... So...I am thinking of shipping my was racing....then training...now commuti ng...on topic bike with lots of miles and patina. It is the only bike in my "herd" that...if there is some extra patina added in shipping, I would be OK. Any advice? Should it go on the plane....or by UPS to the hotel....or? Advice apprecited, this is new ground for me.
