Writing/riding from the 808
Hey group
Been road-riding since I was 13, and riding bikes in general since I was about 3. Right now I live on Kauai and we have some great riding here.
My first road bike was a Raleigh Technium, awesome bike. Raced it a lot and then took it on a tour from Oregon to Southern California over 28 days. All on Aerolite titanium pedals (remember those?!)
Had that for years until I wore it out, then found a mid-90s Ken Evans with all campy! Still have it and use it as a daily driver. Also have a late 90s early carbon Aegis with 105, it's a little bit too tall for me though.
Anyway, most days you'll see me on the Cannondale T-1 with the wife. We love climbing the hills here on Kauai.
Loving the forums and talk to everyone soon!

Raleigh Technium was my first bike too! Fit me like a glove. Welcome!

Takes me back! I had Galli levers with real rubber "gummy" hoods, one of those early Avocet cyclometers, and I wore a day-glo Brancale hairnet.

Aloha Brah from the 9th Island!
What part of Kauai? I lived there, Kapaa, back in the 90's and left after Inikki. GREAT riding in Kauai.
Best downhill ride was one we did in Waimea Canyon and ended with a view over Polihale beach. I don't know if the natrual slide inland of Anahola is still there but that also used to be good ride.
