A trip of Boeing on someone else's dime sounds pretty good to me.

^Thanks Dan. Every time I come back to that spot, the water is always high and I can never get a good perspective. Now that the water level has receeded a bit, you can actually see some of the natural rock considering this lake is man made. :)

I took a 10 mile ride after I got things situated....first time I haven't needed to ice my knee since I started riding again. I think this is going to be a great choice.

That's cool. If you got a proper fitting, you should not have pain for long rides.

Well, it seems that Boeing has a program where they reach out to "enthusiasts" and invite them to attend various functions in Everett, WA.

So, I will be a VIP Guest of Boeing as All Nippon Airlines receives the keys to the first operational Dreamliner. I also get an up close tour of the Boeing factory from floor level (not the usual viewing gallery up high), lunch and a tour of the Museum of Flight with a Boeing historian.

I also get to go back up to Everett on Tuesday morning to shoot the 787 departing.

Now, the folks at Boeing had not seen my website prior to making the invitation so of course I was worried that I was actually a bit outside the realm of what they consider an "enthusiast" but the deal is sealed and they're picking up the hotel and transportation. I just had to grab a cheapy Southwest flight to Seattle on Sunday afternoon.

So that's where I'll be the first part of next week...

That awesome Jay, congrats. :D

Wow... All that work just to get a bike rack to fit a car? I'm impressed! :lol:
(I'm assuming the bike is new?)
