New bike – Trek 1600



New bike – Trek 1600

Originally uploaded by JamesZ_Flickr.

Here it is, finally a photo of the new bike. I took this photo this Sunday, when it was rather overcast. I still managed to do 73.15 miles, despite the weather. I’m very pleased with this (even inspite of the not great service at time of purchase). It is much faster than my old bike (which is still very good for training as it is much heavier).

This is pretty much how it will look during the ride. I’ve added the handlebar bag (and some unfortunate extra weight) to carry carry essentials, such as rain gear and of course the camera.


About this blog

I'm James Zlosnik, a research scientist at the Child and Family Research Institute at UBC in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

This June my boss, David Speert, and others are organising the second annual gearup4cf bike ride from Vancouver to Calgary, Canada and I shall be joining them. The aim of this ride is to raise money for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

I'm writing this blog to encourage you to sponsor me or others on this ride and give money to the very worthwhile cause.
