The Hawaii Cycling Club says this could be the best ride on the Big Island.
This 40-mile out-and-back (and out-and-back again) starts with a four-mile, 1,000-foot climb and features views of Mauna Kea volcano, the Kohala Mountains, and the Waipio Valley. The Hawaii Cycling Club says this could be the best ride on the Big Island. And Bicycling magazine called the return downhill trip a "glorious, twisty, forest-shaded" ride.
