1. Get up early-ride Road to Hana. If you time it correctly, you will miss the hoards of tourists
going there. Coming back, they will be approaching you; still, early, it is not bad. Beautiful
ride. If you don't want to do all of RTH, get as far as Keanae Peninsula. About 5,000 feet of
elevation to Keanae and back.2. Do a metric century around West Maui--simply gorgeous along the NW Coast, but hilly! About 5,000
feet of elevation on this ride as well.3. Ride to Keokea and have breakfast at Grandma's Coffee House. Look for a "mature" gentleman by the
name of Ray who rides a recumbent. Tell him Michael from Cincinnati says hi!4. Ride the "wrong" way to Hana from Keokea. Bring plenny water-very desolate-not many cars.
5. Beautiful ride up Olinda Road from Makawao. Steeper than Haleakala in places. Can make a loop by
coming back (?) Road (sorry-forget the name)6. Don't count out Haleakala Ride. 5-6% grade most of way. Not steep but loooooooong. Beautiful
scenery. If you go in mid August, you could consider registereing for Cycle to the Sun.Aloha-Michael
