Remember that rooftop carrier I was going to get for the car? I never did buy it, partly because I was kidding myself that I would be able to afford to buy a new vehicle this year. I had to face reality on that one though, especially after sinking a large sum of money into the current vehicle on a somewhat necessary repair. (Hey, have y’all heard of tie rods? Turns out that’s what holds your wheels to the axle. Which is, well, critical.)
But once again, procrastination has come through for me. The $140 Thule cargo bag that I was considering is on sale right now at Canadian Tire for… wait for it…. $40. Score! I picked one up on Saturday, and it looks great. Then on Sunday the Schoolmarm came by with a freebie for me – her old trunk mount bike carrier, which doesn’t fit her spiffy new SUV. Even bigger Score!
Picture it… we will be setting off on our 2 week, 1700 km roadtrip with the wagon packed to the gills, a rooftop carrier, and a bike rack with 2 bikes. It’s not a car, it’s a pack mule.
