Riding in the Tropics

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

I spent a week in Treasure Beach and did some cycling. The roads are
quiet and seemed safe during the day. A guide would be cheap. The
mountains are nearby so there are nice hills to ride. I would
recommend a mountain bike or tourer with puncture-resistant tires.

The people I know who live in Hawaii say the cycling is great there.
That's hearsay though, I've never been cycling in Hawaii.

A club-mate does Mexico at Christmas every year, and seems to like it
very much as a cycling destination.

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,

Dummer junge,

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