No George at all today, but park we have.
Today has been a lovely day so far. I woke up early, not as early as a work day, but early enough, and took my bike out for a cup of coffee. This time instead of stopping short of Kapiolani Park I made a circuit of the park first, then came back for coffee. Here’s the ride…
It was just a perfect morning for a ride, not hot (yet), blue skies, light breeze, didn’t forget cash for the coffee. 🙂
The biggest problem I noticed is that it’s almost impossible to ride on the bike paths, they seem to be completely filled with joggers and dog walkers. Worse they are all using headsets so they don’t hear my bell, or even my voice. In truth the road is a much nicer place to ride anyway – it’s smoother and the drivers more polite than the peds – at least they worry about their insurance. 🙂
To be honest, that’s pretty much how I remember it from my prior days of riding.
As for the park, it’s a lovely place and pretty well used. There’s almost always something going on there and it’s got quite a history. Follow this link to the Kapiolani Park Preservation Society!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
