Day 6 - Honokaa to Waimea

The detour finally merges back to the highway about 3 miles before Waimea. Waimea is one of the towns that has grown the most since our visit 10 years ago. A few more shopping centers and bumber to bumper traffic on the strip during rush hour. Tonight's lodging is at the Kamuela Inn and dinner at a local hangout Kamuela Mix Plate.

Today's event reminds us that even paradise is not perfect. But putting a positive spin on it - the rider will only lose 2 riding days. At least the most challenging rides have been done and everybody has managed to stay away from harm. That's the way we approach cycling - "the glass is always half full".
