We moved over closer to Volcanoes National park for the next few days and did some cycling around there. The first day was a ride around Chain of Craters road and then down to the Hina Pali lookout.
Cycling around Chain of Craters was nice and forested, and nice weatherwise.
It was the weekend, and I was surprised at the lack of cars, but come Tuesday and all the parking lots were packed. The ride to the lookout was about 9 miles of descending that was never steep enough to approach technical. It was a one-lane road though, so we had to take some care around the corners. Especially because it became foggy and we encountered some rain.
After a few miles of this, we were sure that the lookout wouldn’t be as nice as promised, and we were right.
At least there was a photo there to show us what we might have seen.
Biking back up is a lengthy affair and seems like 9 miles of a false flat.
Things cleared up near getting back onto Chain of Craters. Chain of Craters has some nice little uphills to keep things interesting, but nothing too challenging. Then it was back on home (rental cabin).
