Wind Conditions:<br />

From Ali’i Drive to the airport, a sea breeze blows from the ocean across the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway approximately<br />

10-12 mph. During the evening, this wind reverses and blows from the mountains. From the airport to<br />

Hawi, athletes will be cycling into the legendary ho’omumuku headwinds, which are predominant on 3/4 of the bike<br />

course north of the airport. These winds blow 5-35 mph and, in extreme conditions, can gust up to 60 mph. After<br />

turning around at Hawi, athletes usually have these winds at their backs to Kawaihae and then face the headwinds<br />

again along the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway.<br />
