Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

[Matt]

Last week until departure.  Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some photos of our sweet new folding bikes courtesy of the fine folks at Citizen Bikes who expedited our order to ensure we had them in time.

I also need to document the Tin Palace hose down for @Seul.  Fear not my Belgian brother, there will be plenty of suds and skin to go around.

This thing is super boss…

Sweet ride! Looks like just the thing for limited space.

It’s fantastic.  I’m so glad we found these since transportation and storage of full size adult bikes was starting to seem like an unsolvable problem.

The new problem however is I’m already looking at the higher end brands like Brompton for when I “grow out of” this one.

I know i'm not seeing Black denim seats and handlebar grips, right?

those are great bikes, hopefully they have less "what now" issues than the Airstream.

2nd shot at this… "may your bikes be streamless"

[Matt]

@jordanscollected those are indeed denim seats and grips.  I’m telling you these bikes are worth every penny.  So far I’ve been nothing but impressed.  I feel like I’ll never own a non folding bike  again.

Monday’s the day everyone.  ???  Our National Parks Pass arrived.  We’re down to the final finishing touches.

Oh wow, what wise wonderful willful wagoneering

Let me know if y’all stop by any parks between Santa Fe and Rocky Mountain NP

[Matt]

For sure.  We’re going to aim for seeing them all.

She was filthy.  I cleaned her up real good.  And I just now grossed myself out a little bit, sorry.

This is how you Tetris an RV fridge son…

Mind boggling  ???  @Matt That requires a degree of planning far beyond me.

[Matt]

This is actually one of my areas of expertise.  My wife just comes home from the grocery store and throws shit in there without even taking stuff out first and then she complains that nothing fits. It’s an art and a science.

[Seul]

Fantastic… I can't wait til you hit the road... Safe travels, friend...

Only prolonged testing of the seating allows for the ergonomics to be evaluated objectively (and their subjective effect )!

Airstream logo is in the right place.
You should do this perspective more often in the upcoming weeks… @Matt
Have a great trip!

[Matt]

I fear that may be the best mood we see on a car trip for a while.  It went to shit pretty quickly after that pic.

We learned a lot today.  Mostly that we need to leave the part of the country where it’s 98 degrees with 85% humidity.    It makes everything harder.  Also, I should have started drinking hours ago.  I’ll post more tomorrow with some detail on how things went today.  To wiped out now.  So far though, this life is promising to be exceptional.  Night everyone.
