Day 6

Apologies for the lack of updates, as the main website says the Internet at many of the motels is very hit and miss plus I have problems with my laptop too!  I will post full updates one I get back and pictures – lots of pictures. Every one is doing really well.  For many of us this ride has combined some of the longest days of cycling with some of the steepest and longest climbs we have ever done and the most number of days we have done consecutively.  Yesterday we cycled over the highest paved road that is open year round in Canada.

So things are good with only 4 days of cycling left I’m starting to feel sorry it will be over soon.  For me I seem to be going well, I’m pretty quick, but not quite as quick as the more professional sports people on the ride.  I’m also learning a lot about bikes from the others, which is really great.  The best thing has been meeting and getting to know all the new people, there are some great people on this ride.  So I’m doing good and the bike is doing good – just one puncture and one new set of rear brakes (from all the heavy braking I do on the downhills!).  Will post more if I get the chance in the coming days.


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.
