DICK EVANS MEMORIAL ROAD RACE
Yesterday I participated in the Dick Evans Memorial Road Race. This is a 112 mile bike race that was once called the "Around O'ahu Bike Race" and was the inspiration for the first Ironman Triathlon back in 1978. It was renamed the Dick Evan Memorial Road Race in 1983 to honor the memory of one of Hawaii's best cyclists who was killed while training on his bike.
The race was fun but grueling. At the start we got rained on pretty good and it was wet for a good portion of the race. The race was controlled until we got to Kunia Road and then it was opened up for racing. This is also where we had our first crash. Other notable occurances on Kunia Road...ran into some familiar faces going the other direction (Ben, Dev, and Brandon).
It was a good race, won by The Bike Factory's Carl Brooks. I finished in just over 6 hours which I think is pretty good for my first race of this distance and I did the entire race without stopping.

NOT THE ONLY ONE WORKING OUT
Looks like the workout bug is catching on at home. Last night I caught Goy and Damien doing some sit ups.
I've still got some work to do with others.

LEIPHEIMER TAKES BRONZE
Congrats to Levi Leipheimer for taking the Bronze in the Olympic Time Trial.
In my own cycling news, started my trips up Kunia Road on the way home on Monday. Man, it was hot but got in some good training. Also got in a good ride plus run brick today.

NO CYCLING WEEKEND
I decided to take a break from riding this weekend. Shoot, I haven't even taken my bike out of my truck from bringing it home on Friday. I had planned to give it a cleaning this weekend and didn't even do that.
I took a look at some blogs today and see that I missed some good rides. Oh, well. I needed a break and spent the weekend watching Olympics. I caught the men's road race, won by Sammy Sanchez.
This next week I'm going to try to get in some extra miles before and after work to get ready for Dick Evans. I want to try to work in a ride up Kunia road every day, either before or after work.

PERFECT DAY TO RIDE!
Today's weather was perfect for riding! Hooked up with Ben, Dev, and Brandon in Kunia for a ride up to Schofield and then back down through Barbers Point. There were a lot of riders out this morning. It looked like everyone had the same idea. Later Brandon left and Greg hooked up with us. Great ride!
