Trail Wanderlust
There is more than world-class surfing on Hawaii’s North Shore. There is also some mighty fun MTB trails to ride as well. I have ridden there twice so far and I had not been disappointed. The place is a maze of interconnected trails and even though I had pretty detailed layout of trails from Trailforks, … Continue reading “Hawaii’s North Shore – Pūpūkea”
I have a work gig in Oahu, Hawaii for pretty much all of April. Getting ready for this trip I decided that my it was time to upgrade my luggage. My Trico hardshell travel case has already been long in the tooth and it was time to retire it after 16 years of service. I … Continue reading “Hawaii – Ka’ena Point + Video”
One of my MTB Buddies from Hawaii was in town and I was quite pleased to take him out to the Laguna Mountains to show him some of my favorite local goods.

I’m back from my quick work trip to Hawaii, but before I finished up there, I was able to squeeze in a second ride. The Manana trail was less than 15 minutes from where I was working so it fit the bill for a post-work ride. It was pretty short trail mileage-wise but mileage can be deceptive … Continue reading “Oahu’s Manana Trail”
So I am in Hawaii this week for a bit of work but I have managed to carve out a little time to grab a rental bike and get it dirty. The destination for this excursion was the north-east shore of Oahu to ride the Ma’akua Ridge Loop and the Hau’ula Loop Trails. I have always wanted to … Continue reading “Aloha from the Hau’ula and Ma’akua Trails”
