Day One

We made it. We had a 25 mile headwind but we got to Hawi on the north coast of Kona. We are a fun compatible group. There are 9 of us and our two guides Kevin and Kyle. Most are fairly experienced bikers and have done trips like this in the past. Carole and I are the only newbies, but I think we are in okay shape as we made it through the whole day. The ride was spectacular along the coast. We had the Pacific in view the whole time and on several occasions saw whales spouting and once saw a humpback breech!
We are in an old Hawaiian town tonight, Hawi. There is only one restaurant serving pizza and there is some concern that they will run out of pizza dough so we are off to an early dinner. Will try to post some pics later. K
