If you are a serious (and I do mean serious) cyclist and you are looking for an alternative biking excursion besides going down the mountain, I highly recommend ';Go Cycling Maui';. I can not stress enough, that this is not for amateurs nor for the faint of heart. My husband bikes and wanted a different experience and I found these guys. They are GREAT. They hook you up with everything you need. They do recommend that you bring your own pedals (if you have them) and bike shoes. My husband%26#39;s bike was a titanium framed bike just out of the box. They go in groups of about 7 and take different routes throughout the island. The day my husband went, they went to an area referred to as ';Up Country'; and he estimates that it was maybe around 45 miles. I didn%26#39;t think it could be done, but they kicked his behind and he loved every mile of it. He found that even if you just want to rent a bike and trek out on your own, Maui seemed to be very bike friendly. Thought I would pass this on to anyone who was interested.
Not your usual biking adventureThanks you so much for posting this information. I was searching the web site
for cycling information regarding a trip to
Maui in September when my husband will be
running a marathon there. Cycling is my forte and the ';downhill'; tours sounded too
tourisy and lacking the workout I crave. Did
you husband find any spinning classes while
in Maui?
Not your usual biking adventureWas glad to be of help. As for the spinning classes, hmmm, no, we don%26#39;t know of any unless maybe some of the spas/gyms at some of the resorts would have had some. I was never able to get him interested in spinning classes because he can%26#39;t stand the idea of biking for that long and not going anywhere. (Laughing) I even offered to set him up with a tv and a refrigerator. Sorry I couldn%26#39;t be of help there. Hope you guys have a great time. Let me know if you do a trip with GoCyclingMaui. Like I said, my husband really loved it and it was definitely NOT a tourist trip. Good Luck
P.S. They have a website gocyclingmaui.com. I think you will be happy with what you read and see.
I spin at the new Powerhouse Gym in Kihei. They have new Spinners and Johnny G instructors. Classes are 6 or 6:30 am and T-W-TH at 5:30. They have day and week visitor passes. Maui Fitness Plus, also in Kihei has several spin classes a day, but it is hard to get a bike there.
Thanks for your information on the spinning
classes in Kihei. Can both gyms accomodate my SPD compatible shoes?
