Bike Science Fit “The Sun” Triathlon Team

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Bike Science Bristol recently had a visit from none other than Gordon Smart, editor of The Sun Newspapers “Bizarre” entertainment column. Gordon’s heading up an intrepid team of ten wannabe triathletes from The Sun including “The Big Man” from Bolton, Radio 1 DJ Vernon Kay. There’s been some serious verbal sparring between the team members so expect to see, Vernon, Gordon and the rest of the team tearing up the tarmac during this years London Triathlon. Gordon and Vernon’s task master, personal trainer James Daly received his Planet X SL Pro Carbon and bike set up as he also prepares to show his understudies who’s the boss on the London course. For information on James’ personal training and coaching services, see HIS WEBSITE.

Follow the progress of the team on The Sun Triathlon Team blog pages.

Bike Science provide bike fit services to the team, Planet X supply bikes and Chicken Cycle Kit provide Time pedals and LAS helmets.
