There are few things that are worth getting up at 1:30 AM. Seeing the sunrise on top of 10,000 ft Haleakela is one of them. The van picked me up at 2:10 AM and I was on the summit by 5:30 AM with Haleakela Bike Tours. After the sunrise, the van took us down to 6,800 ft level and we rode bikes down to sea level (27 miles). This particular tour company lets everyone ride down at their own pace. So in some parts it was screaming downhill and yet I was able to stop for coffee too. Very cool and lots of fun.
