Congratulations to all the teams who participated in the State Team Time Trials at Kualoa Park on Sunday, May 6, 2012. What an exciting day of racing. The day started out with a morning blessing, but after that the sun came out and dried up all the rain and the race was on. It was a close race between the top teams, and the final results are available below.
22 teams participated in the event with the fixed gear teams showing a strong representation once again.

Also, thank you for all the volunteers who came out to help put on this safe race. We couldn't have done it without your help.

Mahalo for your participation and we look forward to seeing you at the next cycling event.

Ride safe!

It is with a heavy heart that I pass on this information regarding the memorial services for Mike Fujita who passed away suddenly last week. Services will be held on:

Sunday, May 20, 2012
Mililani Memorial Park, Mauka Chapel
4:30 p.m. Visitation
6:30 p.m. Service

Mike was a huge supporter of local races and a familiar face at cycling events throughout the years. He was a active member of the Tradewinds Cycling Team and organized many cycling races within the community. Mike will be deeply missed and we send out thoughts and prayers to the Fujita family.

Who's got the best team time trial team in the state? Get together four of your fastest friends to create a team for this 25 mile bike race starting at Kualoa State Park and turning around in Laie. Teams must consist of four riders to start, but only three have to finish to qualify for awards.

Check out the application for more details. Volunteers are also needed, so if you can lend a hand with any of the jobs listed below, please contact Barry <barry_masuda@yahoo.com> or Todd <tonykob@yahoo.com>.

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.
