Just want to wish all you doing Kona good luck now since I know the time to fly out must be soon.

As some of you know I debated on what wheel to ride up front. I was debating between my 808 and 404 up front with an 808 back. I got both my 404 and 808 front in my bike box before I left Austin and last second I took out the 808.

I am VERY happy I left the 808 at home. I was blown all over the damn place today up by Hawi with the 404. I don't mean for this to scare people but if anyone else was debating it and has an option, now that I've ridden part of the course there is NO WAY I'd ride 808 up front.

Now the good news is they are calling for ligher winds by the weekend.

Skinny women pro's will be on their 808's, just saying.

The hottest part of the day is the first 10 miles of the run while you are still around town as there's not a lot of wind, but once you climb Palani and hit the Queen K you'll feel much better. Well...cooler anyway, maybe not "better"
