I'm prepping for a self-supported tour of Oahu for late April or early May.

Looking for a touring partner. This is my first bike tour. I live on Oahu.

Starting out at my house, about 3/4 of a mile from airport and riding along the coast counter clockwise all the way around the island (roughly 160 miles) back to my house. 1 day prep, 5 days riding, 1 day recovery.

I'll provide transportation services to and from the airport.

See my first post on this (Interested in touring Hawaii? Oahu), or Private Message me for more details.

Also, any feedback on asking for a touring buddy would be great. I don't see it happen here very often, and hope it's not taboo or something. Thanks in advance!

Anyone interested in going yet?
Is the plan bad?
Are there too many miles planned per day? too few?

...or is it just too short of notice...:( Oh well... at least please provide feedback on my plan...
I'll post my loadout here in a couple days.
