Aloha! This is Doug from Hawaii (Ben's friend) and I randomly came across this video today on my youtube home page. Nice video and good racing!

Aloha Doug! Nice to chat again. I remember that wind swept ride in Honolulu, that was really fun. Hope to be out there again.

Wow you had a huge cluster of walkers on that super steep hill lol that thing was brutal walked it both times zero problems on my course recon 😂

[@eastbaycyclist8830]

Yeah, I would have been happier riding up it as the hike gave me cramp and my bike is heavy!

[@wherespinto]

@@eastbaycyclist8830 dang thats no fun next year 💪

Why do people walking the bike up a hill get in the way of people trying to ride up the same hill, move to the side.
