Getting ready for the ride on Mana road in Waimea. Starting elevation about 2900 feet before we descend into Waipio Valley at 800 feet elevation. Then we have to ride back up the 2100 feet we descended!!
Brian and Gerd following Monica and Ricci up front.
Some cattle I assume part of Parker Ranch.
Ricci and Monica as we cross highway 19 at Honokaa. Still smiling as we are still going downhill!!Over all, the total ride was 3950 feet elevation gain. Sounds like Kaloko all over again.
If you ever come to Kona, make sure you come to check out this view, also there is a great hike, but it will take all day.
What a gorgeous view. There is a trail on the other side of the valley if you look close.
Now we are excited to start climbing the 2100 feet gain back to Waimea.
Monica, Ricci's dad and mom ( who are the greatest sag drivers around. Thank you so much for being there for us, and the wonderful muffins!!) Ricci, and Brian who came all the way from Austin.
You just gotta take some pictures of the view!!
Back on the road again!!
These uphill climbs are killing me!!
Ricci's parents come through again!!! Almost back to Waimea we get a break and some bars.
Back to Mana road where we are getting ready for a 30 minute run. Another great day on Kona.

LOVE your training adventures! Looks like heaps of fun (hard fun that is). Next time in Kona you must visit Kainoa and my new place, we are 1.8 miles from the pier (far, I know!!) :)
