Bike Week

It's Bike Week! Which means I'll be fairly quiet on the blog this week b/c just about all my 'free' time will be spent riding my bike (read: I'll be neglecting most if not all of my household duties this week in exchange for more time pedaling)... and then maybe won't have my normal energy levels for a while but that is TBD... I'm sort of curious about how I'll respond to an overload block like this so I'll pay attention and maybe write up something on here later about my impressions of riding what I would consider a fairly ridiculous amount of miles in a week...

In the meantime, check out this super cool video I saw on Facebook this afternoon... It was taken by 2 local athletes (and bike mechanics! and super photographers!) Mike Flartey and Colin Cross... It's of a decent I do fairly often (today in fact!)... I actually don't even know the name of the road but cyclists around here call it Snake Rd b/c of the way it twists and turns... It drops ~1000ft over ~5 miles and I think my max speed going down is something like 45 mph if the winds are right. Anyway, just a little view of what riding on Oahu is like in case you're stuck on a trainer right now! Enjoy!

And, um, pass the chamois cream please.

I've VERY curious! Preston told me that Lori would give him "bike" week every year. It was 6 days of cycling and he would 400-500 miles in that week, including usually a mt lemmon trip! She never gave that to me, so the most I've ever ridden would be the Answer with about 300total miles that week.
