It was a little warmer this morning as I headed out for my last ride this trip on Maui. Not a cloud in the sky riding south from Honkowai on the Honoapiilani Highway. Sun shines brightly just ahead and to the left streaming over the West Maui Mountains. On the right, the ocean, waves crashing, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolave, a handful of surfers and stand up paddlers, and unfortunately, lots and lots of cars. Fortunately the shoulder and bike route is wide. Every once in a while, there is a break in the traffic and you can hear the sounds of the water, doves and mynahs, and the breeze rushing by your ears. It was a beautiful morning. I worked hard an the inclines and pushed the flats. Trade Winds were light but head on as I rode out. Took a break midway on this out and back route just before the start of the Pali. My complete ride took 2 hours and covered about 28 miles. It was a great morning.
Got some beach time, water was red flagged so I didn't swim too long or far. Walking the beach today we could see Humpbacks breaching in the channel. Only in Maui! Later in the afternoon we went to a few stores and returned the Specialized to West Maui Cycles.
This evening we watched the Huskies almost beat Kentucky (on t.v.) at the Maui Classic. Also saw an amazing sunset. then dinner on the barbecue poolside. Not sure what training I can do tomorrow, have to make the plane to Kailua Kona. Maybe a short run in the morning. Until tomorrow, a hui hou, see you on the road.
