18 Miles Per Hour

18 MilesPerHour is about riding through the world instead of just passing it by.
“SOMEDAY I’LL GET BACK HERE WITH MY BIKE”   Ever go on a trip or vacation or whatever and come across some perfect cycling roads? What the hell am I saying, of course you have. We all have. On my recent vacation to Maui I took a side trip to Paia – on the north shore – then headed up a twisty climb to a little mountain town called Makawao. Every road up there was a cyclist’s paradise. Twisty climbs. Sticky, ink-black tarmac. Amazing, tropical scenery all around. I should’ve been relaxing. Thinking about family.  But those roads spoke to me. The cyclist.  Maybe it was the tropical heat. Or the fact that I’d been off my bike for a week or so. Or the many, many mai tais. But as God as my witness, I will get back there with my bike and turn paradise into suffering. I can’t wait.
