This past week i put in around 140 miles of training. With my longest ride being 77 miles. Saturday i rode with the Atomann Kimm and the tradewinds cycling team. We started at Hawaii Kai, went to malaekahana and i turned off at kualoa to work the mountain man. Man, those dudes are fast. I tried to see if i could keep up with the fast group, got dropped, worked my way back then finally hit a pot hole and flatted both tires. Luckily i reformed a small chase group with two other riders that rode a very nice tempo as we worked together. After work i caught a ride up to pali then rode back to Hawaii Kai.
On Sunday i rode with Aloha Fixed's Grant and Kyle. We started at Coffee Talk and made our way all the way to the top of Kamehame ridge. Ho shet! That was brutal. Kyle did it on a 47x17 fixed gear! The view was worth it but Kyle was truly a champ going up and coming down. It pretty much ended up being a $20 ride for him because he totally trashed one tire.
My legs hated me after that weekend. I got to rest up later on Sunday and spend a nice day at the beach with my other half. This week will be my last week to put in quality mileage before i taper off for the race.
Chee!
