Merry Chirstmas - 2009...

The wonders of Skype - the most amazing program in the whole wide world...
Direct and live from Honolulu to Kurihama...

After a fun party - eating all kine and too much food last night, sleeping in till late, wrapping all my presents this morning, and opening all my good presents today...I just HAD to ride...but...I was dragging.....so I got out the door after 5pm, late as usual...

The dreamy dreary overcast weather this Christmas day sort of matched my melancholy mood...and Ipod set to shuffle, when these two favorite songs came on... it felt...just...right...

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...

Happy Father's Day Dinner...

Once we figured out the family "seat-order" in our booth, we all had a nice belated Father's Day dinner at the Pearl City Stuart Anderson's Cattle Company last night. The food was good and plenty, the service really excellent, and the price very reasonable...
