Made our way up Haleakala here on our third day in Hawaii. It was magnificent. From sea level to over 10,000 feet, here's how to do it!

    Awesome. PSA for anyone who hasn’t done this - Don’t do this without bringing multiple layers and full finger gloves unless you somehow know the weather will be perfect. Descending for that long through cold mist can make you so cold it’s hard to control the bike.

    My rental bike didn't have enough low gears. The legs gave out at the 25 mile marker after battling a constant headwind. I'll bring my S & S equipped Moots next time. With a 24 - 42 low gear, it should be no trouble ticking off this major bucket list item and adding it to the Stelvio, Mt. Evans and Pikes Peak. Allez!

    Did that one with the help of Maui Cyclery. Ex-pro running that shop. Had a great day out 👍
  • Aloha! I love this climb too. I am lucky enough to look at it every morning when I wake up. I have done it several times over the years.

    Wow... what a beautiful ride. Thanks for posting.

    Did this in 2014. Thought the descent was more difficult and nerve racking. A line of blue hairs behind me afraid to pass me at 40 mph
  • Did it in 2000 back in my pro days from Paia to the top in a bit over 3 hours. One of the best days on a bike ever! Now its on my bucket list to do it again cripple style on my handcycle. :)
