Biking the Big Island is a ride
of contrasts and extremes - from the heat of the
Kona side to the relenting rain of Hilo, from the
climbs of the Kohala mountains to the fast
downhills of the Honokaa gulches. It's like the yin
and the yang of bike rides. This hard challenging
ride rewards you with unforgetable lasting memories
- the rain forest of the Hilo scenic route, the
ascent up the Kohala mountain, the eerie Crater Rim
road, standing beside oozing hot molten lava,
eating wild guavas, meeting and talking with the
locals, etc. Would I do it all over again ?
Certainly yes !! We hope that by showing you what
we did, it will inspire you to plan your very own
Hawaii adventure. If we can do it, we know you can
to. Aside from making us healthier,
we hope cycling adventures like this makes us
better persons as well. By exposing ourselves to
different cultures, we learn to better understand
the world with its similarities and differences. By
using cycling to take care of our physical, mental
and spiritual health, we hope to be around for the
next Hawaii Bike Adventure 10 years from now in
2012. See you then. Aloha
