You did a criterium in Hawaii? ? ?

Yep, when I first moved there.  I did the crit on Hickam and quickly remembered why I hated that race discipline.

I know.  More crashes per mile than any other bicycle race.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

yeah, but a crap load of fun though when done right.......nothing like getting sucked along in the peleton @ 30mph with 50 of your closest friends a few inches from your handle bars

Is this old news/derby? A good friend that helped me co-manage a bike shop in Austin,TX during the mid-late 70s emailed me about tickets he has for a showing of a movie called "Chasing Legends". It's a documentary-type film about the Tour de France. It looks really cool by the trailers. He can't go and wants to give me the tix. Sure, I'd love to go!!

I was a USCF Cat 1 racer back then and went to the '78, '79 and '80 road race nationals and the 1980 Olympic trials (the year we boycotted the Moscow Olympics). Nice bar pick up line in 1980 (yeah, I raced in the Olympic trials!!) but I couldn't even see the front of the make the beast with two backsing peleton from where I was in that pack!! Talk about not deserving to be there!! [bang] Nor the National races!!

Anyway, enough about my weak BS. Anyone know about this film? I've heard that it exists but that's it. My wife is not real excited about going but I think it's fair pay back considering all the make the beast with two backsing chick flicks she has drug me too! Time to girl up!! [thumbsup]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

One last big training ride before The Moab Century Tour next Saturday.

Looks like we'll have a 50ish miler with a 4.5mile/1,500ft climb smack in the middle of it.

I'm ready!

I hope you get a tack in your tire!

Mainly because I would love to spend about a week mountain biking in Moab.

Good luck and have fun Randy
