Happy new year Team! Hope you all had a safe, relaxing new year and you are looking forward to a productive 2012. Now that you've all had a chance to digest the `ono holiday dinners, it's time to plan your race schedule. Download the current cycling schedule and start spinning.

If you are able to volunteer for any team sponsored races, please do not hesitate to contact David Lum. He would appreciate any help that you could offer. Remember these races are not possible without the support of volunteers, so don't forget to thank them when you have a chance.

Ride with care at all times, don't forget to obey the rules of the road and set good examples when biking. Be considerate and aware of your surroundings, and most of all, be safe.

See you out on the road.

Hawaii State Cycling Race Schedule 2012

Here is a message I am forwarding from Marian Yasuda who is in charge of volunteers for this year's H.U.R.T. run. I'm sorry I'm not able to provide new shoes for volunteering, but I hope the satisfaction of helping racers will be reason enough. Pass on this information to anyone who you think might be interested in volunteering. Mahalo for your time!

On January 14-15, 2012, approximately 125 local, mainland, and international ultrarunners will be attempting one of the toughest and most challenging 100-mile races in the world, right here on the Na Ala Hele trail system.  The race is the H.U.R.T. 100-Mile Endurance Run (http://www.hurt100trailrace.com/) and I would like to ask if your group, Team Core Hawaii, would volunteer to help these athletes achieve the goal of a lifetime.

Julie Takishita and I are co-captains of the aid station at Paradise Park in Manoa.  We are seeking at least 8-10 volunteers from your group for a six-hour shift at the aid station.  Please share this request with members of your group for their consideration.

What your volunteers will get:

• Tremendous satisfaction knowing that you helped people pursuit their goal of finishing the HURT 100
• A free volunteer t-shirt
• Food and drinks for the duration of the shift
• Free parking at Paradise Park
• High-energy fun and positive encouragement
• Witnessing the perseverance and grit of very determined athletes
• Gratitude from the race organizers, participants, and their supporters

The duties of the volunteers will include assisting the runners with fluid and fuel replenishment, preparing and stocking food and drinks, retrieving drop bags for the runners and assisting them with various tasks, keeping the aid station neat and organized, and providing encouragement and positive energy. 

There are both day and night shifts available.  If you are interested in helping us, please email me at mnyasuda@hawaii.rr.com or Julie at julie.takishima@yahoo.com by November 1, 2011.  If you would like additional information, please feel free to call me at 221-5171.  We really hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity for a great experience and lend a hand to your fellow athletes.

Long over due, we would like to congratulate Roy Kanemitsu and Eric Glaus who completed Kona Ironman on Saturday, October 8, 2011. Despite a crash before the Tuesday bike ride, Eric was able to complete the race. 

Mike Green wanted to let you know that families and children are welcome at the end of the year party. Hope this helps in your planning and you are able to attend.

Now that the season is officially over, this gives us a reason to party!

Mike Green has graciously offered to host the end of the season potluck/party on Sunday October 23, 2011 at his beautiful home in Lanikai (1350 Aalapapa Drive). 

Bring your favorite potluck dish to share at the party from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Also, bring you own beverages to consume. Hope to see you there to celebrate another successful racing season.

Now that the cycling season is officially over and no one is training for long races, we will start the Saturday bike rides at 6:30 am. beginning this Saturday, September 17, 2011. Enjoy the extra 30 minutes to sleep in and have breakfast. Please spread the word and hope to see you there.

As always, you may choose to start earlier or later. Ride safe!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the WONDERFUL support crew at Pineapple Hill who passed out water bottles today. Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to "feed" the entire pack and many riders would be suffering out there without your aide! Everyone was very calm and professional as each pack came by. Your encouraging words and communication to the riders was very nice to see.  Cambio/Core once again had a strong showing on and off the bike and I am proud to be part of such an awesome team.

To the riders who represented our team, GOOD JOB! You battled out there to the very end and you made the other teams work hard for their money. Congratulations to the first time riders Roy Kanemitsu, Mike Green, Todd Nishimoto and Peter Wolff. Now you can say finally say you did "Dick Evans" and you'll all be ready to do it again next year.

This was the last race of the cycling season, so enjoy your rest while you think about next year's racing schedule. It was a great year and continue to ride safe. Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Smiles,
Gaysha

Dick Evan Memorial Road Race will take place this Sunday, September 4, 2011. I incorrectly posted the wrong day. Sorry for the confusion.

Want to be part of the Tour de France? Sorry, I can't afford to send you to Europe, but you can drive to Pineapple Hill and be part of the Tour de `Oahu! Dick Evans Memorial Road Race takes place this Sunday, September 4, 2011.

I am looking for volunteers to man the first feed zone at Pineapple Hill in Wahiawa. Plan on meeting at Pineapple Hill between 6:45-6:55 am to get instructions and situated in your area. Riders are estimated to get to the feed zone around 7ish. After the riders go thru, we will have to bag the used bottles and pick up any trash left behind. Since this is the first aid station, the riders should be closely grouped so we should be finished around 8 ish.

I hope to have all water bottles and sports drink available to distribute on the Tuesday, so if you can help by filling up water bottles and transporting them to Pineapple Hill, I would appreciate this.

If you are able and willing to help, please "comment" to this message with your name.

Thank you for your assistance to the race and the cycling community. Maybe we might see Alberto Contador riding by?  :0)
