This set up survived many trips to the UK for worlds at Manchester. Now I use just one trico case, and get one bike, four wheels, pump, helmets and assorted stuff into it.. I weigh it a head of time to make sure it makes the weight at the airport. Find a Walmart or the equivalent to buy a cheap cooler if you need one, and a couple of camp chairs that you can donate to the velodrome when you leave. One year at Rock Hill they had a sale at Big 5 (or something like it) for camp chairs at $6.00 each. Remember to bring your own water or other drinks to the track. I will refill water from the local supply, but will never borrow anything from anybody else unless it still is sealed with the original cap unopened. Paranoid, yes. I train to hard to get popped for someone else's supplement mis-use.
Be sure to ASK the track if you can leave your chair. Rock Hill did NOT appreciate how many leftover chairs there were...I heard.
