Tradewind Cycling Team
“The Tradewind Cycling Team offers a year round riding calendar with a wide range of routes. Every Saturday, we meet in various locations around Oahu, and occasionally the neighbouring Islands, for some great training rides.
Rides typically average around 60 miles and 4 hours in duration, but the rides are planned in advance to focus on training for upcoming races. So, when that 10,000 foot race to the top of Haleakala looms on the horizon, our rides contain a bit more climbing, and as the 112 mile race around Oahu approaches, we ride longer and at a more brisk pace. The idea is that consistently participating in the weekly rides contributes to the preparation of a rider for the races ahead.” Read more at Tradewindcyclingteam.com
