Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How's the cycling scene on Maui? I didn't see too many cyclist but maybe I was in the wrong area?

Just reviving the thread cause its an awesome thread.

No but seriously, planning on going this year and taking pics. Can't decide if I want to time trial up or just coast up. Maybe I'll do 2 days.
