Hawai'i by the numbers

As my little condo-construction/vacation/training camp comes to an end, here are a few numbers:

Miles ridden: 285
Longest ride: 70
Shortest ride: 12 (not all roads that appear on maps are actually built yet)
Most elevation in one strech: ~2600'
Best Beach at which to end a ride: Hapuna (Mauna Kea resort would be first, but they don't let bikes on the property)

Hawaii County Police Officers Killed in the line of duty: 3
Officer Manuel Cadinha was killed in 1918 during an arrest.
Officer Ronald "Shige" Jitchaku was killed in 1990 while trying to break up a brawl.
Officer Kenneth Keliipio
was hit by a car and killed in 1997 while assisting a stranded motorist.
