Cycling around Poipu and Kapaa - heaven

Its been great cycling here on the island.  There is a bike shop just past the traffic circle - its called Outfitters Kauai.   They are really nice people, have superior quality road bikes that are well maintained, and give great service.

I've done some fantastic rides here on the island.  Its so scenic and safe (free of cars) over on the new Kapaa path that runs from Lydgate park up North for about 11 miles.  The link shows the most primo part of that route.    The picture is of the very top, near the end of the trail, looking South, back towards Kappaa.  Perhaps the most beautiful ride I've done anywhere.


Also, there's a great route around the Poipu area.  Very scenic.  Check it out here.  Just about every ride I've done has originated at LuxuryPoipu.   Its a great place to stay if you want an unobstructed view of the ocean, close up, with lots of space to stretch out, in really high quality surroundings.  at 2,400 square feet with 17 foot high ceilings, it doesn't get any better in Poipu, and all of the bike trails leave from here.
