Ride to Haleakala

Yesterday was an awesome adventure when 8 of us from the HACC took a trip over to Maui to climb the extinct volcanic cindercone of Haleakala. It is a 10,023 foot climb in 40 miles to get to the summit. Jesse, Kristy and I rode our bikes to the airport at 5 am and met up with the others for a six o'clock flight to Maui. We just wheeled our bikes up to the counter and they roll them onto the plane for you. After a 30 minute flight we rolled out of Maui airport around 7 and caught our first glimpse of what we were about to climb.
