Hi guys,

I'm looking for a good place to go on a vacation and it would be good
if it were in a somewhat tropic

I'm thinking Bermuda or something like that. I don't know how good the
roads and riding is there.

I guess I'm open to something in any tropical location around the US.
Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Cancun, Jamaica.

Obviously, there are riding opportunities but if there's anything
'special' (as in safe, nice) anyone knows about in one of those types
of places please share.

TIA

That's hearsay though, I've never been cycling in Hawaii.

And comes back and whips everybodies ass for a few weeks until the
panache wears off. Anyway its more hip to refer to it as New Italy.

Dumbass -

In general Hawaii is aweseome. Coastal roads run on gorgeous, verdant
coastline and THE DRIVERS ARE COURTEOUS.

There is a slow pace of life there. People aren't in a hurry.

The exception to the gorgeous coast description might be the Kona Coast on
the Big Island where the TriFreds do their thing. It's mile upon mile of
black lava rock and its windy.

thanks,

Kurgan. presented by Gringioni.

Dummer junge,

I like this post because it makes triathletes look stupid. Thank you.
