			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vanessa and I planned this vacation last fall and I’ve been looking forward to my first trip to Hawaii ever<br />
since. We just finished our first week where we stayed in Hawi, a small town in the North West corner<br />
of Hawaii (The Big Island’s actual name is Hawaii). In addition to being the turnaround spot for the bike<br />
leg of the Hawaii Ironman, Hawi is a quaint town well located for visiting the beautiful beaches of the<br />
Northern Kohala Coast, the amazing green valleys , Mauna Kea and for some great riding through all this<br />
terrain.</p>
<p>The thing about riding on an island that was formed by volcanoes is that most roads lead UP! Even a<br />
simple out and back ride along the route 270, the main ‘highway’ in the area results in almost 3,000 feet<br />
of total elevation climbed. When it comes to riding, a fair amount of your mileage will be on these types<br />
of main roads as there just aren’t that many secondary roads on Hawaii. However, many of these routes<br />
are not that heavily trafficked and the ones that are tend to have large shoulders. The drivers here are<br />
extremely bike friendly. I chalk this up to a combination of the relaxed and friendly Hawaiian attitude<br />
and the long history that Ironman has shared with Hawaii.</p>
<p>Last week’s big ride was a 105km ride that took me from our house in Hawi up along a spectacular<br />
volcanic ridge and down to Mona Kea Beach. The ride included almost 7,000 feet of climbing and some<br />
of the windiest conditions that I’ve ever ridden in. Often the wind was a cross-wind which was the<br />
most difficult and dangerous as I had to lean my bike into the wind in order to keep myself straight<br />
and upright. Those who know me, know that my favorite part of riding is descending and this ride has<br />
a beautiful twisty decent off the ridge towards the town of Waimea. Unfortunately due to the wind<br />
I was not able to enjoy the part of the ride too much. My speed was kept to a max of about 30km/h<br />
either by the huge headwinds that I was riding into or by my breaking in the crosswind sections as I was<br />
concerned that a big gust could easily blow me off the road if I was travelling at high speeds.</p>
<p>Towards the end of the ride I was riding up the famous Queen K Highway, uphill and into a headwind<br />
of course. As I look up the road I see a cyclist on a tri bike coming towards me and give him a wave as<br />
I always do. The rider energetically waves back to me with a big smile and as he passes me by I think<br />
to myself, he looks kind of familiar. I crane my head back and notice that he is totally kitted out in<br />
Livestrong gear and has a minivan following behind him. Shit that was Lance Armstrong, and he just<br />
waved at me! I immediately felt more energy in my legs and started pushing just a bit harder into that<br />
headwind.</p>
<p>Maybe next Monster.ca can have a training camp in Hawaii too?!</p>

<p>La classique du printemps à Bromont est depuis des années la course qui inaugure la saison.  Qui parle de début de saison en vélo de montagne connaît habituellement très bien l&#8217;expression MUDFEST.  Pour 2011, avec la quantité énorme de neige<a rel="attachment wp-att-297" href="http://road2rockracing.com/bromont-la-classique-du-printemps/mudfest-bromont-2011/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-297" title="MUDFEST Bromont 2011" src="http://road2rockracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/MUDFEST-Bromont-2011-300x225.png" alt="Bromont 2011" width="300" height="225" /></a> reçue au cours de l&#8217;hiver en Estrie, en plus des pluies abondantes dans la semaine de course, on pouvait parler d&#8217;un MUDFEST.  Heureusement, l&#8217;organisation de la course à pris soin de trouver une montée sec.  Le parcours n&#8217;était pas celui des dernières années, mais sans aucun doute fidèle à sa tradition depuis que le départ se fait sur le versant du stationnement P5.  Pour reprendre l&#8217;expression de celui qui a donné le déaprt: «Bon bien quand je vais donner le départ, ben&#8230; vous montez tout de suite!!! Vous allez redescendre à côté virer à 180 degrés et remonter!!! .  Malheurement, la course a été écourtée en raison de la météo et de la déterioration du parcours.  Par contre, l&#8217;intensité était au rendez-vous avec un départ simultanné avec les Seniors, mais qu&#8217;ils n&#8217;ont pas fait le poids .  Pas évident d&#8217;enfaucher sa monture de montagne pour la première fois de l&#8217;année et ça dans une course, mais finalement c&#8217;était pas si loin!!!  Enfin, dans le troisième et dernier tour, j&#8217;avais rattrapé le vainqueur dans la montée, j&#8217;étais dans son pédalier prêt à l&#8217;attaquer, mais j&#8217;ai trop attendu et nous avons rejoins 2 retardataires qui ont chutés dès son passage d&#8217;où ma pédale s&#8217;est prise dans une de leur roue.  J&#8217;ai couru pour reprendre le momentum de la montée, mais l&#8217;écart était rendu d&#8217;un peu plus d&#8217;une minute et la descente approchait&#8230;  Enfin, peu de plaisir au retour à laver le tout, mais qu&#8217;elle plaisir d&#8217;avoir retrouvé mes roches et mes racines&#8230;</p>
