. . just under 200 KM, approximately 5 hours by bike, and i will be in another city by 2pm on saturday. yep, i plan on biking from shanghai to suzhou this saturday. i will be leaving at 7:00am in hopes of arriving in the city by 2pm at the latest . . i mean, somewhere along the way i will have to stop and drink some pocari sweat, right? :)
below are a series of photos that describe the finer details of the trip. enjoy !
this is chris. new friend, rad dude, and bike enthusiast. he will be my travel buddy for this trip. i sniped this photo of him at the x-games last weekend!
this is suzhou, china : the water city of china. i'm expecting to see a lot of streams, rivers, moats, and bridges. and according to the weather network, it should be close to 40 degrees celsius . . yessss time to burn! note : this is not my photo, but i plan on having a few hundred that turn out better than this one :)
naturally i'm going to need some tunes for the road. every time i die will be at the top, middle, and bottom of the playlist. the ipod has been fixed : let's do this!
fixed gear bike. i just got my new bike on friday, courtesy of airwalk custom fixed gear bikes. the one featured in the photo above is not mine, since i haven't had time to photograph my own yet. but mine is much nicer, i can assure you of that. regardless, you get the picture.
finally, and maybe most importantly the BAG. i finally managed to pick myself up a nice messenger style carrying bag : what a life-saver when it comes to riding !! i'll have it packed full of fresh t-shirts, socks, boxers, some camera gear, sunscreen, and a few bottles of pocari sweat . . did i mention how much i love that stuff yet? we're working on getting them to sponsor our bike polo league and fixed gear crew :)wish me luck! i''ll be sure to take too many photos that it takes me a week to get around to uploading a few. cheers!
