Mountain bike repairs performed by West Maui Cycle bike mechanic at TriLanai triathlon.
A few weeks ago a bike rental customer, Darrel McGuire, posted a short video of his experience mountain biking in the Makawao Forest Reserve on the slopes of Haleakala. The reserve is about halfway down the dormant 10,000 foot volcano on East Maui. As the short video demonstrates, the Makawao Forest mountain bike trails provide plenty of excitement for even the most avid mountain bike rider. Watch the video below and then take a look at a couple images from last weekend's TriLanai Triathlon over on the island of Lanai. Next time you plan a mountain biking vacation on Maui, think about spending a couple days exploring the bike trails on Lanai too.
We want to extend a special Thanks to Darrel for the complimentary comments he left on his Vimeo page along with his mountain bike video:
What a Great Day riding some excellent single track in the Makawao Forest in Hawaii...:)
Special Thanks to: "West Maui Cycles" for the maps, info, and a well tuned Specialized StumpJumper, to explore the up Country on Haleakala's slopes.... Aloha & Mahalo !!!
After you watch the video be sure to head over to Darrel’s Vimeo page http://vimeo.com/77105642 to leave a comment to let him know you liked it.
