So, one of the baseball moms here at the game had a "bike question"...
"I do pretty well at triathlon, and I run a lot faster than most of the 50 year old guys with these big bellies, but they absolutely smoke me on the bike! What's up with that?"
"Belly breathing," I say, "it's a bike thing those guys have been perfecting for years."

Probably for realz. Do you happen to know what hers is?
And the bikes here in Kona are just stupid. There are 454s all over. And Di2, eTap, P5s, Plasmas, and $5k rigs seem downright pedestrian.

Costco in Hawaii sells tacky Hawaiian shirts. So, now we know that.

Yeah, about 90% (fake math) of the stuff is from CC/Backcountry, though they move a lot of their returns there (S&C) and they're good deals (if you're willing to buy a return/refurb).
