Last training ride in Germany this evening........

My bike is booked on tomorrows OLT flight from Bremen to Bristol, so will need to pack the bike this evening. I am planning on a 2 hour loop ride, this will then give me enough time to break the bike down and pack it into the bike bag ready for the journey home. The down side to this is when I return next week for a short working week I will be bike-less. I wanted the bike back in the UK early to ensure the bike was ready for the transit to John O Groats which is not far away now - only 11 days away. It would be a diaster if I arrive back at home next week and the airline refused to take my bike. If that happened, I guess my only option would be to dump the hire car at one of the channel ports and take the bike on a ferry - what a hassle that would be..........
