Alright…So I know that this isn’t the Versus station or anything, but I thought I’d steal the phrase anyway. This weekend there was a great stage race put on by Boca Hawaii that my husband and his teammates participated in. On Saturday there was a road race at Olomana (check the results - congrats, hubby). Sunday started with a time trial up Tantalus and then a criterium in Kakaako in the afternoon (final points).
First, I’d like to applaud everyone who gave it their best this entire weekend - that’s a lot of riding! Second, here’s another bike-inspired/related post for all you cycling fans.

Here’s my second installment of all things with cycles on them. This weekend was the 2007 Aloha State Games Stage Race. Saturday the participants rode a Time Trial that started in Haleiwa and ended in Pupukea. Sunday was a Road Race that had the cyclists riding through Kalaeloa to complete the Stage.

The race was put on by the Cambiamento d’ Andaturo cycling team and was a success. There were dj’s from the University of Hawaii radio station KTUH spinning some tunes while the riders did their thing. So, this is another post dedicated to all that participated, helped and showed their support.

Oh…and congrats, Mark!!!

Since it’s officially bicycle season I thought I’d do a little all-bike-stuff post. This is for my husband and his team, Cambiamento D’ Andaturo, and everyone else who participated in today’s Haleiwa Metric Century Ride.
