Beaches and Bikes

Sunday morning ride, from The Club, with Gerd, Eric and Cliff, (L-R). This is after about 12 km and 50 minutes to get from sea level, up Hina Lani to 1500 feet. Next section, KALOKO!!!

One more quick photo after filling water bottles before the next 13km 3500 elevation gain with absolutely no downhill, and barely any flat sections.

Cliff making a call for more oxygen!!! The last section on Hue Hue is 17-18 % grade. Heck, we are still going for a 1 hour hike :)

The descent is a blast, 0 to over 80kph in about 15 seconds!!! Eric and I took another route, all downhill to where we started from, and was 19km at 50kph,,,, average

Some fish photos just in the bay at the Pier. This is a needle fish in layman's terms,,,

and some angle fish

and some yellow fish

and a school of fish. I hung out for a long time with these fishies in school, I can use all the help I can get.

KONA BREWERY BEER!!! The reward for getting the bbq together,,, or shall I call it the grill!!!

And the steaks have been "most excellent!!"

Lava tubes, along the Queen K, just past the airport.

Enter at your own risk!!! Wear proper footwear, not flip flops like me,,, yup, I drew some blood in there :)

It is always hard to find time to get to the beach, luckily there are many.
