I went to the Honolulu Century ride 2007 event held at September 30 in Hawaii.
This is a really fun event where riders can chose from 25,50,75 and 100 miles course. It is very well organized and provides enough aid stations where some food, drinks and also mechanical service are available.
But this is obviously the event of the Japanese riders, for the Japanese riders and by the Japanese riders. Majority of the participants are from Japan. No wonder Japan Air Line is co-sponsoring this event. Anyway 2000 Japanese riders flew to Hawaii last week.
The course has only 40-50 meeters elevation difference throughout the way which is almost flat. For those who are used to the mountain riding in Japan this course may be an easy 100 miles.
Even so, the course was just beautiful. Riders go through nice elegant residential area, plantatioin area and of course along the ocean.
Hawaii is nice. I love it. Riding in Hawaii is something special.
