One of the most incredible rides on the planet, went clockwise from Wailuku. The true ride starts after Kaanapali, as you finally exit the last of urban Maui and get into the country. Near Honolua Bay, the road narrows and this becomes a unique cycling experience of punchy, intense climbs, fast descents and incredible scenery everywhere you look. There is traffic but it is mercifully light. A car could easily end your day on this ride, so use care and know your capabilities, especially cornering, braking and descending. Watch for slick pavement, mud periodically flows over the road, dries and rehydrates in the frequent showers. The mud can be as slick as snot. Rockfall happens and can show up anywhere. Also, beware the steel surfaced bridge on the way out of Kahakuloa. It can be like ice. These factors just add to the epic nature of this ride. Can't wait to do it again.
