Today the plan is to do some snorkelling and explore the West Maui loop by car. After breakfast we get all our gear together and headed off to Napili Bay. It’s still fairly early in the day, but parking is at a premium at this popular spot. We score a place fairly close to the Read More …
Today we’re driving the famous Road to Hana. In hindsight to really do this justice, we should have planned to say a day or two in Hana instead of just driving there and returning to the condo in one day, perhaps next time. We start of by crossing the middle of the island and stoping Read More …
Today is the day to ride up Haleakala, all 10,023 vertical feet from the ocean to the top of the crater. The plan was to drive over to Paia and get underway by 7a.m. but the days are full and we’ve slept in a bit and then of course getting all the gear together, having Read More …

It’s been cold over the last couple of weeks, colder that it’s been all winter so far with temperatures in the mid -20°C and windchill putting it in the mid -30°C. These lower temperatures have brought some stress and challenges to cycle commuting both for me and the bike. One of the first mornings where Read More …
Such a nice sunny warm fall day I was motivated to put a little power to the pedals. Not bad for a 30 year old steel mountain bike with loaded panniers, not to mention the (ahem) age of the rider.
A while back the original tires on my road bike were starting to look a little worn, so I replaced them with a nice looking set of Michelin Pro 3 with a red sidewall that matched the bike paint job nicely. Then I started to notice I was getting more flats, a lot more flats. Read More …
Once upon a time going for a ride was a simple thing, relaxing, no stress. You could ride easy, go hard, or anything in between. And then there was Strava. Strava has an iPhone app that allows you to track your ride and then upload it to their web site. It also has the concept Read More …
