Hawaii - Route Suggestions
« on: November 12, 2025, 04:01:26 pm »
I just finished a ride from DC to Key West and as usual, when it was over I didn't want to see my bike again for a long time.  But here it is 8 days later and I'm already being drawn back to the saddle. The thought is that before nature intervenes and ends my cycling days, I am now experiencing the brain rush to try Hawaii in the Spring.  (I've done the lower 48)  Something like looping Oahu Island that isn't too difficult for 82 year olds.  No big climbs.  Too much of a hassle to ship my ebike, the method would be to rent a bike and skip camping.  This would be my 14th bike tour and possibly the last.
Anyone out there with suggestions?  They would be greatly appreciated.  I may contact bike clubs over there, also.

That is the only state I have yet to tour in.  I have ridden in it but I think you have to at least overnight  in the state while on a tour to count as having ridden in the state.  Can't help you out with a route but wish you the best!  Tailwinds, John

Hey John:  Thanks for the support.  I still have Hawaii and Alaska to do but I am prone to warm weather these days.  Time will tell.
