If you're coming to Kauai in July try this race for fun...

So, the powerline July 4 race is almost always greazzy. It goes over and through
rain forest and close to the wettest place on earth.
Some shots:

The red stuff is clay and real slippery, the whitish stuff is also clay and even more
slippery.

Edit: 12 miles total (and it's ALL like that). 8 straight up, no down or leveling off
until the top (~300' @ start top is >2200') then it's ~3 mile up down (1/3 up, 2/3
down). These shots were taken at the beginning of the down.

That's what happens when you let mountain bikes on your trails...j/k

The "trail" is really a power line that they use to access the power lines. They
use helo's now days, but you do get some 4X4 guys out there too.

Try riding UP that stuff!

And yes, good fun. Once I got to the down hill, I had a smile plastered on my face.

Another "me" shot, no one held that line all the way.
