Awesome day here on Maui. Low 80s for air temps so I'm not missing the snow at home. first thing this morning I went for a easy ride from Honokawai to Olowalu, about and hour and forty five minutes. Riding the Specialized Roubaix SL2 from West Maui Cycles is so smooth. For the entire ride I had the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. Pretty good shoulder, more traffic going out and only a little head wind on the way back. Beautiful riding. There is a section of the highway in Lahaina where the locals are adding road medians and planting strips. Both ways the road is reduced from two lanes each way to one in each direction. Not too good for cars but cyclists can move right along. Looking forward to another ride tomorrow.
We also spent a few hours up in Waikapu at the Makani Olu Ranch and my ancestral family plot. Everything looks beautiful up there. You can see the ocean on both sides of the island and Haleakala. Pretty spectacular. The ranch is growing with more and more land developed for pasture, horses, longhorns, goats, hair sheep, mules, donkeys, pheasant, and numerous flowers. Just in the last year Avery has added an office/tack room, a new arena, and upgraded the saddle up area. if you like you can find the Makani Olu website for more details.
Finished the day pool side at the barbeque taking in the sunset over Lanai. Maui is definitely the best (no ka oi). A hui hou, see you on the road.
