Daryl S. is basically a machine now
Posted Aug 11
Daryl S. logged ten rides this week, which is the kind of commitment that makes the rest of us look like we're taking a sabbatical. Two hundred and forty-one miles, nearly a small mountain's worth of vertical gain, all while maintaining the kind of pace that suggests he's either very fit or very angry at the road. The Rouleur, the Climber, the Sprinter, the Persistent — he swept the week like he was collecting Honor Roll awards the way some people collect coffee loyalty cards. It's almost unfair.
Vini P. found the long way to Hana and did it twice, which tells you either something about his legs or something about his life choices. Either way, fifty-one miles in a single outing earns you the Long Hauler distinction, and four hours of climbing density that we can only call sadistic earns you the Iron Calves.
Lee C. spent the week choosing gravel and suffering for it — thirty-five miles of dirt and rocks, which is the kind of tire choice that doubles as a personality type. The Gravel Grinder award is yours.
Josh M. rode seven miles on what looks like a Peloton, which is seven miles further than the couch, so Josh M. takes Lanterne Rouge and the small dignity that comes with showing up. And welcome to JAW.SURF M., who just joined and is already on the feed. We're watching.

Hana outbound
Vini spent over three hours loitering on the Hana outbound route yesterday. The ride itself—51.4 miles, 4,440 feet of climbing—should've hurt more. It didn't, which tells me everything: 125 watts average, 71 rpm cadence, the kind of…
