Get on your bike and ride

Cyclists in the 2026 Ironman 70.3 race in Hawaii, heading to and from Hawi.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Bicycles and Biking.’ See more responses here. Yesterday, the Hawaii Ironman 70.3 race took place on the island so I went out to take photos of the cyclists as they went to and from Hawi.

The day was a hot and sunny with moderate trade winds, which meant the ride to Hawi was uphill and into the wind. The reward was turning around and zipping downhill with the wind at their backs.

Follow the lines

Lines on the walkway at North Kohala Hospital in Hawaii

Kohala Hospital has been around since 1917. The buildings look a little worn, but they did build a new emergency wing a few years back. Recently, I was there to have blood work done and, after I reached my destination, I realized I should have been following the blue line! All’s well that ends well. including the blood results.
