8 August - Preparing to ride

OK, so not everything worked out with the hostel booking and I had to make a few modifications. We are staying in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland on Sunday night and Bregenz, Austria on Monday night. We'll bike as far as we can from the morning's starting points and then catch ferries to our destinations.

I put Skylar's bike all back together and it seems to be working properly. He rode it around a good bit to test it out, so hopefully no unexpected mishaps will flatten it again during our trip. I'll be prepared this time though if it does.

I spent the majority of the day chatting with people and packing. We aren't bringing much, just the necessities because we will be biking with our bags. I got Skylar some saddle bags for his stuff and I will use the backpack. I also packed some food and water even though I'm sure we'll stop along the way at places to eat.

We tried to go to sleep early, but I was too excited. Skylar was whining all day that he didn't want to go and it was going to be so boring and blah, blah, blah. So emo!
