Merlin. Sunny in Chicagoland but otherwise a miserable weather day for riding. West winds in the mid 20's with some gusts over 30 mph. Temps right around 35, so wind chill was in the high teens. With that kind of conditions, I decided to ride in Hawaii for the first time - on the Northwest side of the big island. Beautiful scenery and several other cyclists out, a couple of which joined the ride. I've never ridden on a tandem before but the host rider that did the video was on one (along with the stoker). Reminded me of Scottsdale, AZ in a way - lots of palm trees and an abundance of gated communities. Out on the ride, it actually reminded me of riding through the desert areas around Tucson, AZ - it looked very dry with grasses and plants that resembled desert sage. Legs felt good today and I beat all three shadow riders. I did some stomps, spinups and sprints and pushed pretty good on most of the hills, which were frequent.
