Big Sunday Ride

Yesterday we started of with a small cruise over Likelike to Windward Mall. We had a little sushi then headed off to Chinaman's hat.

Enjoying the nice ride to the hat, we felt it would be no problem pushing on to Haleiwa. Not such a great idea. We didn't have many delays getting to Laie (love the look of the McDonald's there)

Where we got stuck was just past Waimea Bay on to Haleiwa where people were going crazy over some turtles coming on to the beach. Ever tourist on the island was either rubber necking to the beach below or trying to find a parking space immediately to see them. Sorry no pictures. I just wanted to get past that portion of road. There is nothing like sitting on an air-cooled bike on a sunny day in slow moving traffic. With stops and traffic, I think we did the 70 miles in almost 6 hours. (There were many stops about every ten miles to stretch our legs and refreshments.)

We are thinking of going back to hit the shrimp trucks outside the farms. I have never eaten there amazingly enough.
