Empty Road Ahead
Mostly it was me, the road and terrific scenery.

Follow the Winding Road
The first of two sets of switchbacks. I arrived about 11 a.m. I probably still had half the ride to go.

Hawaiian Poppy
It began to rain. I started putting on clothing. First my arm warmers. Then my base layer under my bike jersey. Then my leg warmers. Then my wind breaker. Although the rain was light for a long time, I was eventually soaked. I was also too tired to climb off my bike at this point for photos. Probably around 7000 feet or so I leaned over with my camera, put it close to the ground and guessed at the composition, since I couldn't see exactly what the camera was pointed at.

Car Down!
Nearing the last few thousand feet, visibility was much reduced.

View of the Summit
Pedal stroke by peal stroke, with plenty of stops, I made my way up Haleakala, otherwise known as House of the Sun. There was no sun for me, though.

Not Quite So Peppy
I needed to call Jewel for a rescue. It was too wet and too cold, particularly since my clothes were thoroughly wet, to ride back down the mountain. I'd had a one-way ticket to the top. I felt a bit cheated not to get my 35.5 mile downhill reward.

My Delayed Reward
A zip line adventure a few days later made up for the sting of not being able to coast down Haleakala.
I'd come to cycle up Haleakala. I learned, though, that there was a lot more to see and to experience, from zip lining to snorkeling, from hiking to dinning, all of them far more pleasurable than pedaling 10,000 feet uphill in one day.
