Mauna Lani Drive to Hawi turnaround. A reasonably flat roll up to the junction with Hwy 270, then blast down through Kawaihae and begin climbing up toward Hawi. Things gradually get greener as you begin to come around the north end of the island and get out of the rain shadow, and on many days this also means turning into a brutal headwind. Wind turbines off to your left as you approach Hawi are there for a reason!
