Paris-Brest-Paris it isn’t, but I had a lovely time riding the HKH route on Saturday. All told it’s a little less than 60 miles, a metric century. Most of the route is actually on bike paths which is great as the roads out there are a little less safe than those in town. They are faster for the most part and folks aren’t quite as tuned in to bikes.
The bike path skirting Pearl Harbor is actually quite rideable. I’d thought it was going to be a mess, but it was really pleasant. Here’s a view…
It took a long time to get there, about 3 hours, because I’d never done it before and I wasn’t sure how to get from one leg of the route to another. Coming back was much, much quicker.
My Quickbeam was superb. It’s hard to believe I rode 60 miles on a single speed, but I did. Too cool!
That’s it for now!
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
