To Hana and Beyond – Tuesday

Posted onFebruary 5, 2013March 24, 2013Authorgarry.c.stewartLeave a comment

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 …

Haleakala by Car – Saturday

A lazy start to the day and breakfast at the on site restaurant , The Beach Club, gets us on the road just before noon. We’re going right past the Costco so we swing in that way for gas and unbelievably more shopping. Gas is certainly a deal at almost 25 cents below the typical Read More …

Up early again at about 4:45am to get ready ad drive over to the Maalaea Harbour to catch the snorkelling adventure at 6:15am. The 1st part of the adventure was the boat ride to the first site. It was windy and rough and our course had us cutting through the wave trough going sort of Read More …

The Presentation – Thursday

Posted onJanuary 31, 2013February 2, 2013Authorgarry.c.stewartLeave a comment

After surviving a Timeshare presentation from Wyndham I’m not sure it was really worth the $100 show discount, good thing it was raining most of that time. Speaking of rain, what’s up with the weather? All the locals are saying this is quite unusual etc. etc. but Thursday drizzled most of the day with some Read More …

Cold Weather Cycling

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 …

Winter Riding

Posted onNovember 23, 2012November 23, 2012AuthorGarryLeave a comment

Yesterday was the first challenging ride of the winter due to some freezing rain in the early morning. Probably the most challenging part was getting off the driveway! However, the studded snow tires on the bike are awesome compared to the knobby mountain bike tires or the slicker commuter tires I’ve been using up until Read More …

VO 2 the Max

Posted onNovember 8, 2012July 13, 2014AuthorGarryLeave a comment

I recently had the opportunity to have my VO2 Max tested courtesy of the fitness centre at work. Not the testing where you get hooked up by a tube to a machine, but a step test. Three minutes of stepping up on a box from a resting heart rate and then measuring my heart rate Read More …
