112 mile road came to an end...

So I was just at the Bike Shop today on king st. picking up my Team Tradewinds race kit, nutrition and tubes for the race this Sunday. Had a good chat with TWCT President Atomman about race nutrition strategy. While i stood behind him at the register he turns around and says, "look at this." Little did i know, my 112 mile road journey came to a halt... The email read,

"Dear cyclists,

We regret to inform you that the 2010 Dick Evans Memorial Road Race scheduled for September 5th is canceled for reasons beyond our control.

We are making efforts to reschedule the event but do not know yet if we will be successful in our attempt. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause especially for those traveling to Oahu to participate in this event.

Refunds will be available. For those who wish to wait to see if a rescheduling is possible, you may request a refund at a later date. For those who need an immediate refund, please email us at boca@bocahawaii.com and confirm your mailing address.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Mahalo,

Race Director"

The sales clerk then turned to me and asked, "you still want this stuff?" I thought that was funny. Well, I got a lot of good training, met a lot of good people through the process. I ended the day with Grant on a good 40 mile ride to Waimanalo and back to triangle park. Oh well, was really hoping to accomplish and add the DEMRR to my race roster. But there's always the Waikiki Roughtwater on Monday. Unless that gets cancelled too...LOL.

I even prepared by breaking in my new Sidi Genius 5 shoes by wearing them around the office. Ha!I accomplished one thing today, looking like Will Ferrel in Elf. Anyway, here's a picture of the team kit i picked up,
I will now be hosting a power gel party called "Power Gel Palooza!" Your all invited! there's plenty to go around!

What's next? Well, it's about that time to start training for NAGA in October. Jiu Jitsu animo Fire It UP!
