I felt bad for the guy driving the bread truck to the right. We were coming downhill on this stretch and I was taking it slow as it was really steep. This guy kept getting stuck behind me. Every time we'd hit a couple hundred feet of straight road, he would go tearing past. Then, he'd stop for something, we'd pass, and he'd be stuck behind us again.
I was very glad we took the trail going clockwise (heading north along the west side of the island). If we'd gone the other way, we'd have done all the nasty hills as climbs rather than descents. Would have been a lot tougher on the truck. The grades were much gentler on the east side.
