A week ago Monday night I hauled my butt and my bike to BWW despite having a fever of 101, being woozy and feeling unsafe about driving. I'd been in bed with the flu for four days feeling truly awful but I knew I had to get my bike shipped to San Diego by last Tuesday so Bernies Bike Shop could get it assmebled and ready for trip. Those of you who know me will have no doubt that I told all of this to the guy at BWW in great detail - complaining about being sick and feverish, excited about my trip leaving the following week. I am not one to walk in, demurely ask them to ship my bike, and walk out. I was told my bike would go out on Wednesday by UPS Air. Instead my bike went out Friday by ground. BWW claims that I never mentioned anything about time sensitivity. The first thing I said to the fellow when I walked in the door was that I was sorry to show up so sick but time was of the essence. I am truly mystified.&nbs p; All I can figure is that the guy just wasn't paying any attention to me at all, was day dreaming off in his own mind somewhere. BWW is taking no responsibility and I will never feel the same about them.
So my bike is not here and isn't even due to arrive until after the trip departs! Am I upset? Yes. What is going to happen? Stand by....

Hi Phyllis,
What a drag! Maybe it's a way for you to start slowly so that you can get over being sick. - Brenda
Well, Phyllis, think of it this way, you are in California, right? Wah hoo! Sunny CA!!
That being said, it totally sucks that your bike isn't there, however, try to see the silver lining- you should be near 100% by the time you get started and you haven't quit. I know it must seem like the powers that be are against you and the trip, but I don't think so. When that bike arrives, get back on it and ride! All this bunk will be a thing of the past when you feel the warm wind whipping through your hair.
On a side note, you are an inspiration, no matter how entitled the chef thinks you are! :)
Stay positive!!
