Kona Adventure Team riders Barry Wicks and Erik Tonkin have been riding together for what seems like forever. Their relationship was built around mentorship and racing, but over the years has evolved into a unique kinship. On this trip, they conquered two of Maui’s most daunting rides and combined them into one epic day on their way into the clouds.
About Erik and Barry:
Erik’s racing career has taken a back seat to his main job of owning and running Sellwood Cycles out of Portland, OR. He also manages a very successful CX Team, Team S&M Cyclocross, which features this year’s elite women’s US national champion, Clara Honsinger. Barry still dabbles in races, but as the manager for Kona’s adventure team, his focus has shifted to figuring out what harebrained adventures he can convince his friends to join him on.
