Well TFNB represented on the Queen K Highway on Hawaii this April. Dylan and I did a two day ride. 100km each way from Kona to Hawi, and then Hawi back to Kona. We were EXTREMELY lucky and had a tail wind for the most part on both days. The last 8 miles on the first day was a full on head wind from Mahukona to Hawi, this is where the trade winds kick in and the Kona winds subside. HOLY SHIT!! I was plugging through, but thought I might lose Dylan for sure. WE had to stop reassess his fueling and get going again. Bonked, UP hill and Headwind.. not a good combo for Mr. Reece. All in all a fun two days, the course has nothing on IMC in my humble opinion. I find it a bit too flat, there was no place I felt I needed to get out of my saddle and somewhat deflating when you can pretty much see your 90 km course in front of you the entire way!! Dont' get me wrong I would not want to conquer that course in the winds and heat that are usually present!
We had a blast though, and can't wait until we all go to do it together one day and wrap it up with some Mai Tai's!!!
Overnout.
