Ashley Nelson (welcome to the Bikes on Rice “slow ride” where no one gets left behind!) said she’s not afraid of potholes (except for the big ones!) when she found out about other bike rides being offered by Tommy Noyes.

Saturday is the Tour de Po‘ipu that rolls at 8 a.m. from the Po‘ipu Beach Park (the Spouting Horn side of the parking lot). Tommy said Kaua‘i Path Vice President Andreas Honi will be leading the “easy-paced” 15-mile group bicycle ride around Koloa.
Information and latest updates are available on the Telegram messaging app that people can download to their electronic devices.
Raquel and Edoardo Segato-Figueroa of Bike Kaua‘i will be organizing weekly “intermediate (15 to 35 miles)” group rides until May … now you can see why you need the Telegram app.
In the meantime, Raquel and Edoardo are coordinating a free tour of Ke Ala Hele Makala‘e (another name for the Kapa‘a multi-use path) that ends with an optional no-host brunch at Collab Cafe on Feb. 25 (yep, it’s a Sunday).
Riders meet at the former Foodland Waipouli parking lot at 8 a.m. for the easy ride on the full length of Ke Ala Hele Makala‘e.
And, the potholes? There may be some on the Wailua Country Roads Tour on the March 3 ride being coordinated by Raquel and Edoardo that will take riders around Wailua Homesteads and over to Kahuna Road … tip: be sure to bring a bathing suit for those who want to jump in the river at the Keahua Arboretum.
Riders should be ready to roll out starting at 8 a.m. at the Wailua Homesteads Park (that’s the one with the dog park). The ride is considered intermediate with some interesting hill climbs and descents.
Call Tommy aty 808-639-1018, or email news@KauaiPath.org for more information on any of these rides outside of the Kalena Park departure point.
