Greetings and some pictures

So I've just gotten back into cycling and I'm SOLIDLY into the Athena category. I tip the scales at 190 while only a stubbly 5'2". Just figured I'd say hi and share some pictures from my recent hack at the Honolulu Century Ride. I managed to get through 50 miles of it in around five hours (not counting hanging out at aid stations chatting). So here is my lovely ride, a Giant AnyRoad 2 and my favorite shot from the ride.

That scenery beats anything I have here in my neck of the woods.

Thanks all! It was a really gorgeous ride. I'm definitely lucky to be getting back into it here in Hawaii.
