    Watch out! Cyclist coming through

    I'd love to do that. Like an inverse version of riding around West Maui.

    Watch out! Cyclist coming through

    I got to do a race pace ride up Mt. Ventoux a few years ago, timing it with Strava. It was interesting to compare times with the top climbing pros, but also with the sprinters who are just trying to make the cut off time. P.S. The scene all Summer long around these famous Alps climbs is...

    calling all island BB`erz

    I thought his family lived up north, rather than in Lahaina town, but I didn't know him well.

    How much sh!t do you put up with to avoid being the asshole of the neighborhood?

    Whenever I run power tools I feel bad about the sound. I do it during business hours, try to keep it as short as possible, and do it in the spot farthest from my neighbors' houses. I never understood how someone can be oblivious that they're being annoying. I mean, they'd notice if a saw was...

    Fires in Maui

    I worked at West Maui Cycles for a few years so I met most of the local riders as they'd come through but I'm terrible at remembering names. With the county having just bought that parcel above Kula and plans to build trails on it, there'll probably be new riding spots by the time I can return...

    In the Spring I heard it had sold a while ago but kept the name. You know anything about that? Moose, who owns Krank Cycles, used to work at West Maui Cycles and be around Lahaina a lot. You ever meet him? Good dude. Introduced me to my wife.

    Fires in Maui

    From last night's evening news. My housemates being interviewed and some photos of our house before and after the fire. We put so much work in over the last 8 years making the house nice and turning the yard into an oasis. They spent the last few months making the cutest nursery for their baby...

    I didn't realize you left. Where'd you go and how's if compare. I've spent the last 20 winters in Lahaina but need to figure something new out for at least the next couple years. I've been all over the world but haven't yet been tempted to leave. I considered renting in Paia this winter but...

    Fires in Maui

    That doesn't seem possible. Of course some neighborboods have more vacation rentals but my neighborhood was 100% owner or long term renter occupied, with a few having a vacation rental ohana in the back yard. Lahaina Luna neighborhood the same, maybe without the occassional vacation rental...

    Fires in Maui

    Well, they're getting put up in temporary housing on the West Side. How beneficial is that though? Kids will need to be bussed 1hr each way (not counting traffic or the frequent road closures) to the other side for school. Jobs are non-existant and will be for years. These people really need to...

    Fires in Maui

    Guaranteed luck figured into it the most. Just how the air was swirling and where it brought the flames. My housemate said the few homes left in the neighborhood (this house is like 200 yards from mine) have lawns and bushes that look untouched by the fire.

    Fires in Maui

    When I had some close friends die in a house fire my dad, who was a fireman, assured me that they passed out from the smoke before they felt the flames, though they surely felt the heat and knew what was coming.

    I sounds like a lot of kids in Lahaina Luna neighborhood died. Now I realize how many could have been home by themselves because school had a weather closure while their parents were at work. Awful situation.

    I'm happy Emma was able to live in our neighborhood for a year and experience the lifestyle. When I'd take her up to Honolua it was cool to see how the local surfer kids embraced her as a friend right away.

    Fires in Maui

    I've always found it frustrating that Hawaii won't learn from the Mainland about how to do things or run government because they think they're different and lessons learned other places aren't relevant to them. This is now the biggest example of how it comes back to bite us but that mindset has...

    Fires in Maui

    My friend had the presence of mine to swim out to a mooring bouy cuz the smoke was thick by shore. She spent the night holding onto it with her cats on her shoulder before swimming in at dawn. People less confident about the ocean tried to stay right by shore or even on the jetty and died from...

    His childhood home was next door to mine. They moved to Oahu a bit over a year ago, but yeah, our cul-de-sac is just dust.

    Fires in Maui

    Just found out my friend's parents didn't make it out of the dense Lahaina Luna neighborhood. The elderly neighbor on one side of my house was basically dragged out at the last minute by my friend cuz he was gonna stay. The elderly couple on the other side of me said they were staying when my...
