Impressive ascent. Not easy at all. Nice one!

I just did the 2008 Run to the Sun Haleakala (36.2 miles) from Maui mall. Took me 7 hours and 34 mins, this video reminds me of that run...every step of it. thanks =)

I just did this climb 10 days ago to the day when I was there.. I have to agree there is just a pull from this beautiful mountain that begs you to come back for more... people may think we are stupid for riding up it, but how many people in the world can say they did it or can even do it! Haleakala RULES!

I did this ride a few years ago and was hooked ever since! Now, every time I visit family on Maui I have to bring my bike. There's just something about that Mountain that calls you back. I also love the comments from the downhillers, my favorite is being called a "Spandex Warrior". Good job! You lucked out with the weather, my last two visits were clouded, wet and cold.

I just did this ride in late October (2007). I am posting a comment to say thanks as I had watched your video before I left for Maui and I was just checking it out again. I wish I had a clear day like had in your video... Funny thing is that my wife and kids had a video camera to shoot a video similar to what you did, but I left the camera on in the car before we got started and by the time I reached the park entrance the camera was dead. Great video!

Beautiful ride, My dad and I did it a few summers back (to be honest though, we drove half the way up) I'll never forget the downhill bikers telling us we were going the wrong way! Thanks for posting the video, good memories!

that is a killer climb! I did it downhill a few years ago ,and it took like 2 and a half downhill. the altitude is no joke. quite a feat.

awesome ride!

We took our time and stopped to admire the views. I want to say it took around 7 hours starting from the beach. If you are in decent shape and don't stop alot it would be around 4 or 5 hours.
