Over the next week follow Ray Hill as he takes on what is billed as the toughest bicycle climb on earth – a volcano called Mauna Kea – to raise money for our programs. Ray plans to match the first $20,000 raised on his CrowdRise account! (link to donate here: https://www.crowdrise.com/ray-vs-the-volcano)
After a little nail-biting suspense, the road to the summit is now open again. I am still wishing I brought my snow tires! In any event the web cams at the summit do show some pavement, so if I make it hopefully I can weave around the ice 🙂
Our flight leaves in an hour, we arrive in Hilo around 7:10 pm local time tonight. We plan to drive to the course tomorrow in our Jeep and see how conditions are at the summit. Next post will be early evening Sunday.
