Last Ride of 14

tree-lined

Hope the road rises with you in 15, like it did in 14 for us, our blog, and magazine. Yesterday climbed this tree-lined road to Pineapple Hill and then banking right back to Kaanapali was met with hurricane winds. Seldom is a ride cut short for wind and rain, but yesterday it was. So gusty, it felt like something wicked was coming and bad things may happen. A few hours later, rained pounded the island. Today, the sun is back, it’s calm, and we’re headed out for the last ride of the year.

We’ll wrap up our best photos and stories back on the mainland next week and share more from Maui. Until then, Hau’oli Makahiki Hou. That means Happy New Year in Hawaiian and is pronounced like:

  • Hau’oli — “how-oh-lee”
  • Makahiki — “mah-kah-hee-kee”
  • Hou — “ho.”
