So I did the Haleiwa Metric Century this past Sunday and I had a great ride. I used my Quickbeam again as it's the perfect bike for the ride. I'm pretty pleased with how things turned out. The day was a bit overcast and rain was forecasted for later in day, but the word was that it would be dry

I am delighted to hear about your riding and health improvements! Fantastic ride, Bob! Your weight difference is similar to mine. I dropped from 280 to 190 four years ago when I shifted to paleo (and now ketogenic). I'm at 200 now, I suspect because of increased leg muscle (I'm actually leaner

Sounds like fun riding in Hawaii. I will be in Oahu and Maui this spring and I hopefully will do a volcano tour including bike ride down the volcano. I am glad you are on the mend. Enjoy the ride! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch

I rode down Haleakala with a friend last year before surgery. If you do a paid tour you'll not be taken the top of mountain as the park service doesn't allow it. If you have a friend drive you to the top you can go all the way down. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/sets/72157632868878838/
