A 170 Mile Lap of Maui: Why to Ride a Gravel Bike in Hawaii
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2023
- The Californian Coast Ride -- a spectacular four day ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles -- has been on my calendar each of the past seven years. With record rain hitting the state, we moved things west and went to Hawaii for the week.
So this ride is a "coast ride" of sorts, just around the entire state of Maui! With long stretches of time without support or rest stops, we loaded up handlebar bags and pockets for this 170 mile all-day jaunt of the island.
Here's the whole enchilada: / strava
Bike: Cannondale SuperSix EVO SE
Wheels: Zipp Firecrest 303
Tires: Rene Herse Snoqualmie Pass 700x44
Drivetrain: SRAM Red AXS 46t front, 10-50 rear
Moosepacks: handlebar bag XL
Nutrition: UnTapped Mapleaid, waffles, syrup. Plus a Reese Peanut Butter cup.
Kit: Velocio Concept Radiator jersey + Ultralight Utility bib shorts

This is exactly the kind of cycling content I look for on RUclips, great work. I couldn’t care less about the pro peloton, give me a film about a guy out riding with his buddies any day of the week.
Ha, apparently I'm doing something right! Thanks for watching.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching Sam’s Grand Slam Maui Owie Get Fit Quick Trip Extravaganza! If he aint in shape after this one ... well ...
And, I gotta say, you really stepped up the production value of this video! Chapeau.
That means a lot. Thank you! No shortage of hard work.
Great video.
I’m a big fan, I love this channel.
I ride several disciplines, I’m 55.
Started as a mountain biker in the 1990’s .
Now it’s mainly gravel and road miles in South Texas.
I also just got about $200 worth of Untapped. Looking forward to fueling.
Thank you for the inspiration, Ted.
Ride on !
Amazing video, never thought about a gravel bike for that ride! The east loop is on my bucket list, one day I’ll get that ride done! Thank you!
Aloha! Thanks for the great video. I am lucky to call Maui home for the last 20 years and have biked all over the island. I have never filmed any of it. It's always interesting to me what footage makes it on to the videos. I know how hard those climbs are. Great job!
Excellent video ! Nice speedshot @ 2:54
Maui is my favorite place in the world and have a dream of taking my bike there one day. Definitely a bucketlist ride, but I'd probably have to do those in two different sections.
Been waiting for this one, what an epic day in the saddle!
Thanks for staying tuned.
Sweet ride! Savannah looks 😎
Big big January miles, jet boil handlebar bag…🤔 Got some adventuring planned this year?
Great side guys, looked like fun and a nice day to ride too. Thanks for giving us the details about your bike. Man the bike is super fast too no matter what tires you put on it.
Wow so epic! I did the northwest loop before but around the whole island is astounding!
The Sam Train =‘s the Pain Train. 2 absolute savages on another Epic 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great footage - enjoyed watching!
No way!
I rode over 196;ml around Maui, 7 years ago.And I rode on my road bike with my family assistance and support.
Amazing, Ted! This ride is definitely on my to-do list... maybe not all at once like you did though! ;)
Hey Ted,
great vid. I am going next week. I usually do the northern loop and play around on haleakala but will no definitely consider the southern loop. I will run my Crux 1x 11-42rear, 42front on scwalbe g-one rs 35mm. Ill top out on the flats but goodness those hills can get steep. thanks for the inspiration!
Next video: gravel ride to Hawaii. Just an idea.
100%
12K feet of climbing, wowzers
Loving this video! I just rode the West Maui loop and want to do the road to Hana when I come back in the summer for the Haleakala event.
What kind of bar and saddle bags are y'all using?
Why to Ride a Gravel Bike in Hawaii? Bcs you don't have a new road-bike with 33 tires with you 😅
Crazy loop! Why no banana bread in Hana…? Should be mandatory :)
Rest assured, lots of banana bread consumed on this trip!
@@TedKing1 amazing videos! Cheers from LtD country :)
My friends, Don & Pam, managed resorts one being switcher mt ski resort in Idaho. Then they move to Maui on Hawaii to manage a 200+ acres off the gravel road your talking about. Resort has grass roofs an rolling hills of grass, quite beautiful. Do you know of the resort they managed?
Only 8 mins?
It's true Ted, these could be a lot longer and we would be just as happy, and happier!!!
Thanks for the great video Ted. A tire question: If my bike has room for the Snoqualmies, any reason to not use them over the Barlow Pass or Bon Jon Pass for generally not super chunky mixed surface rides?
Honestly no. I find them as fast as anything. So it’s not like it’s a disadvantage over more narrow tires. I love the 44s!
Hey Ted. What bar and stem are you running on the bike. TIA
Zipp Speed SL stem and XPLR bar. 👌
🤙💪👍☀️😎🤪
What is the cap brand you are wearing at the end of the video?
Ha, that's Maine Beer Company.
You can put a 44mm tire on a super six? Sam interested because I have a 2020 team edition super six.
SuperSix EVO SE. SE implies the gravel bike. If so, yes. If road bike, no.
