Today's Group Ride- Kualoa Ranch thru Kahuku and back

I am proud to say that today I road with the "Chargers" group of the Red Hot Ladies.  The Red Hot Ladies ride in 3 different groups: "Cruisers" (where I started) is for beginners and ladies just getting back on the bike; "Coasters" (rode with them last week) go at a moderate pace and distance; and "Chargers" go at a pretty fast pace and go far distances.  I was honored to be invited to ride with them because 1) they're all super skilled and very knowledgeable and in very good shape and 2) because I still feel a little beginner-ish.  The Red Hot Ladies are all super nice and supportive and I love riding with them!

Today's ride was pretty much one road out and back (Kamehameha Hwy) except for a little detour we took over to Laie Point (see mile 24).  Kamehameha Hwy has a shoulder to ride in for much of the ride but there are several spots where you have to ride in the road.  This is a really nice group ride because you will feel safer and you can enjoy the scenery along the way.  There are many stretches along this route where you are about 20ft or less from the ocean. You can even smell the ocean as you ride! It's also relatively flat. There wasn't anything I would even call a hill...maybe a hump.
