The document summarizes a 100 km bike ride along the West Maui Loop in May 2013 that involved over 1,000 meters of ascent and descent across 6 climbs of varying difficulty levels. It describes the scenic route along with stops for food and drink, catching one's breath at the top of climbs, and finishing with flat roads through sugar cane fields back to the ocean, though it was very hot by the end of the ride.
