i was never a fan of krispy kreme... but dunkin donuts just came back to oahu and opened it;s first store here since the early 2000s.... ... there is only one though..... and they opened it close to the airport... ....which actually makes me happy for 3 reasons......
1. it;s too far away to justify riding there daily on a bicycle... and would take too much time away i need to use doing other things..... so my temptation to go there every day... or actually any day at the moment.... is lessened.....
2. if i happen to stop there close to the end of one our round the island bike rides.... i will have just ridden over 100 miles on a bicycle.... so will be more than justified to eat one.... or 2.... maybe 3.... and not experience any negative effects at all.... ..
3. since we still haven;t started back on our round the island rides after the pandemic shut everything down a year and a half ago...... the first time we make that ride again, i will feel very fortunate to have made it that far.... and could easily justify eating a whole box of them..... by myself.....
and..... there is actually a number 4 reason too.... ...it has been a few years since i was able to complete that entire ride.... and on the last several , i can;t rmember how many.. times we started on it... i and a couple of other riders less durable than our triathlete partners, stopped short in haleiwa.... at the 70 mile mark.... put our bikes on the bike carrier that all hawaii busses have.... and we rode the bus home.... .....i was usually asleep by the time the bus made it around to the airport... and most likely would be again.... .......so...... ....no donuts for me!.....
