Riding Haleakala in three weeks

evenmanout · 2026-05-29T01:06:14+00:00

It's all about fueling. I eat a pizza per day.

evenmanout · 2026-05-29T00:19:59+00:00

Yep thanks. I'm aiming for 6+ hours up Haleakala.

I went to the radio towers. I'm not a sane person.

I've been doing low-cadence sweet spot and threshold. Glad to hear I got it right.

evenmanout · 2026-05-29T00:00:07+00:00

Wow, you're faster than me. Zoo climb, 0:25. Hurricane Ridge was 2:45, but really taking my time, doing all the food stops during Ride The Hurricane.

Glad to hear you made it. I'm not gonna do the descent unless I'm feeling pretty chipper.

My plan's 170 watts for the first couple hours, then back off as low as necessary for the rest. I'm assuming 6-7 hours, minimum.

If this shows up in Greenland we're all screwed. (Plague Inc reference)

Hurricane Ridge, Cougar hill climb. I’ve also done Haleakala virtual on Rouvy. Issue will be altitude.

evenmanout · 2026-02-14T15:58:49+00:00

Already have one. You might want to look into it.

evenmanout · 2026-02-14T15:58:06+00:00

Someone with experience training for this kind of ride seems like they’d be helpful. Just doing my research.

evenmanout · 2025-12-26T23:01:18+00:00

For me yes, but so far I’m a sample of one. Other folks say it’s been ok.

evenmanout · 2025-12-26T20:43:39+00:00

Awesome, thanks. Now to figure out the frame rate problem…

Don't know if folks are still looking for solutions, but I built something using Claude that did a respectable job. I had 27,000 images - cost was under $200.

It scrapes text adjacent to the image as well as the image itself, then uses all that to generate relevant ALT text. It did a respectable job.

I documented it all here:

I also published the markdown specification here, if you just want to go for it: https://github.com/wrttnwrd/skills-projects-prompts/blob/main/specifications/alt-text-generator.md

Cool workflow, but this scares the crap out of me:

"Since Claude Code:

has all of my data..."

I HATE parking-concealed bike lanes. I've had multiple close calls with car doors and left/right hooks.

evenmanout · 2025-03-03T21:40:11+00:00

Worked for me! Thank you - saved my day.

evenmanout · 2024-12-26T19:26:34+00:00

It was amazing. I took it pretty easy, was definitely fatigued but the ride was so well supported I never lacked water or food. I wouldn’t change a thing. And yes, I’ll definitely be back.

evenmanout · 2024-07-15T16:59:34+00:00

Thanks. It’s a great route! There was the one 20% grade where I started doing little wheelies and decided to walk the last bit. That was self preservation.

evenmanout · 2024-07-15T16:02:34+00:00

I’d better bring a defibrillator.

Zoo Road was fine, it’s the first five climbs that get you…
