Paradise Ride Kauai 2012 is a fully supported, 2-day bike ride on the island of Kauai, August 4th and 5th. It’s an amazing ride--not a race--through some of Kauai’s most breathtaking scenery, along the ocean, through valleys, local neighborhoods and open countryside.

Whether you are participating in a group event for the first time or you are an experienced cyclist, you will be able to choose your ride completion point at select rest stop points on either Day 1 (North Shore), Day 2 (South Shore), or Days 1 and 2 combined.

More information on how you can Design Your Own Ride, is included on the Route descriptions, starting here.
