Our GearUp4CF team is called "4 Lungs and a Liver". I have had a liver transplant and both Paul and George have had double lung transplant. Paul lives on Vancouver Island so we don't get a chance to see him and ride with him very often. This past week was an exception as Paul was on the mainland for a check-up at the transplant clinic.
In the afternoon George, Paul and I rode over to the north shore to climb Mount Seymour. It is a 921m climb over 12.2km with an average grade of 7.6%. Paul wanted to do a serious climb in order to gauge his readiness for the mountain passes that we will ride on the GearUp4CF.
We all felt good during the climb and are feeling confident in our ability to complete the 9 day Marathon challenge to Banff.
We now have less than a month before the start of GearUp4CF. I think that we are all prepared for the 1200km that lay ahead of us and I am looking forward to getting to know my teammates better and meet others that share a passion for cycling.
