| During our stay in Hawaii, Geno rented a bike and got in 3 satisfying days of cycling. Maui is very bike-friendly and you can find everything from challenging roads in the "up-country" area to some easy beach riding along the ocean. | |

On the leeward slopes of Mt. Haleakala, about 5 miles from the ocean, Geno did a great 40-mile ride through quiet, spectacular countryside with views of the ocean. |

| An AWESOME road!! The most squiggly, rolling road I've ever been on. And no traffic, either. | |

| Numerous cinder cones along this road | This must be a joke since there were no fruit trees to be found. But I like the message anyhow. |

| The road winds through a tunnel of these wildflowers | |
 |
 |
| The road rock-and-rolls toward the north side of the island | Some kind of bamboo-like century plant |
