BIR '06 & '07 Images

The following images are from the '06 & '07 Big Island Rides. These were smaller tours compared to the 10 events I ran from 1996 through 2003. Our new, more intimate group size ranges from 3 to 40 riders.

Photography by: Kirby, Diane Sprucebank, Peter Hoffman, Diane Kelso, Dennis Graham, Jim Muellner & Tim Kneeland. Diana is credited with the incredible turtle face and whale pictures.

Pictures from our Wheeling Hawaii '03 tour can be found here.


By clicking on any photo, you can view the
pictures as a slide show. Once in slide show view,
you can drag and/or save any photo to your desktop.
