As I relearn how to use my blog since the last trip, I’ll share what lies ahead. Each day will offer different length rides and levels of difficulty. This will let each rider decide how long they want to be on a bike and how hard they want to work each day. It also means you can add plenty of relaxation time should you choose.
Day 1 begins in Kona and ends in Hawi. We will ride through plenty of old lava fields and end in lush surroundings. Day 2 is from Hawi to Waimea with lots of climbing. Day 3 will take us from Waimea to Hilo which is on the rainy (lush) side of the island. On Day 4 we will travel from Hilo to Volcano. Part of the ride will hug the rugged coastline and have options to add lots of climbing for the riders who just can’t seem to get enough climbing. Day 5 will be a layover in Volcano with several options within Volcano National Park. If you haven’t had your fill of climbing, an over 4000-foot climb is available for the daring. When we leave Volcano on Day 6, we will bicycle to Captain Cook and ride through woodland, sugar-cane fields and meadows. Our last biking day on Day 7 will take us into Kailua-Kona; along the way we will pass coffee farms and a chocolate factory.
The large building in the background is where we will be staying our first night. Looking forward to riding with good friends from home and C2C 2018.
