Enroute to America

Early mornings are never my favourite, you just have to console yourself with the prospect of an early arrival at your destination. So at 5am, my ever helpful brother picked me up and we headed out on to a clear M25 for Heathrow. I've received an email last night that both bikes are clear of customs, they had been pulled out for inspection. Nothing untoward, the whole container was being checked, fortunately these days they simple x-ray the complete box, where as they used to have to unload the whole container and you ended up with a load of storage charges. 

So the good news is that Simons bike has been delivered to the warehouse in Baltimore, unfortunately my bike didn't fit on to the truck and as of Tuesday 16th was still in NYC, however this should have been rectified by Wednesday evening. I await a confirmation email and I place my trust in American efficiency 😉
