Century Rizzle..

After a years wait, I finally got the chance to hit up the infamous Century Ride put on by HBL every year. It was a last minute decision though because of the 11 pm ending time of the 8 hour long BBoy City the night before. So anyway I called up the team leader at about 6am and told him I was coming. Just one problem, I had a flat!! Long story short, I made Elton late, he let me borrow a tube since mine couldn't be fixed, Ceddy Bear, Jameel and Derek went ahead to do the 50 miler and a chinese guy was watching me the whole time changing my flat at Elts house. Elts wheres the awkward video at?

Trying to take a shot of us before leaving, I suck at these


This image is significant because this is the first cone after we passed the cone picker upper truck! We were THAT late.


Practicing our drafting technique and picture taking skills


This is the first group of people we finally caught up to cruising through Hawaii Kai. By this time numerous people were passing us by heading back to Kapiolani park from doing the 25 miler


Sauuuuu. We caught the "Calved Wonder" heading back from the 25 miler after doing the around the island ride just the day before!


Hit up Jamba Juice for some nourishment at Koko Marina on the way back


This one is for Kaweeks. Made it to the top of Diamond Head no stopping, calves burning. I felt bad after for asking this lady to take the picture, I had no idea she was waiting for her family to come by. They had to wait for her to take our picture first and then act like they were riding by again. After this we caught some speed heading down to Kapiolani park.


Here's a pan of the park. Since we didn't register we couldn't do the big finish but its all good.


Ended the ride with the good old 7-11 stop. This 7-11 is famouse for keeping the group hydrated every tuesday and thursday
