Happy Thanksgiving...And A Long Ride...

Happy Thanksgiving...I probably should take some time in the coming days to think about all the good and grateful things I'm thankful for...everyone should...

Went for a long and very windy 3.5hr ride this afternoon...felt like junk all the way. Didn't help when the Polar HR computer I just put on today decided to STOP showing the speed about 1 hour into the ride. Rode back home, took all that cr@p off my bike, took of the irritating HR strap, and rode out to Hawaii Kai and back with whatever energy I had...

Then, about 2/3 of the way out to Hawaii Kai, I see this guy coming up to me in my mirror and I'm not riding really THAT slow...the guy kind of breezes by me riding a chrome Bianchi fixie w/ 2 water bottles on his seat - tri style...although I could have easily jumped on, I figured I'm just riding easy today so I just let him go, he barely makes it through a just turned red light. This guy had that total pro racer build, like 6' tall and super skinny and super tanned...I wonder if he's an off season pro cause I never seen this guy before and if I did, I would have remembered him for sure...
