More than 360 off-road motorcyclists and mountain bike riders kicked up a lot of red dust, Sunday.
The off-road enthusiasts participated in the annual Kaua‘i Off-Road Riders Coffee Fields Poker Run which covered more than 40 miles through valleys, coastline and farm crops in Kaua‘i Coffee and A & B Properties land.
“It’s always a treat to see parents, grandparents and families riding with the keiki,” said Trail Master Manuel Cabral in an e-mail from KORR.
Tom Leighton of Motorcycles Period said that without the approval of Kaua‘i Coffee, A&B Properties and other private land owners, the off-road enthusiasts would not have a place to ride.
“We must protect that privilege,” Leighton said. “A special mahalo goes out to both the Kaua‘i Coffee and A&B Properties for allowing Kaua‘i’s Off-Road Riders to host this annual family event.”
