The bridge to Hog Island in Grenada is truly a place that you can only get to by bike or walking….and who wants to walk when you can take a bike?
In this edition of Grenada by Bike, I venture out to this hidden location on the South-East coast and take a quick video from the bridge.

Here’s a few more pictures taken from my Hog Island trip.
Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea). I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.
My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.
Answer:
Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out. Have you tried either of these? Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.

I was planning on taking a hike with a couple of my friends here. Would you mind telling me where the trailhead is? Thanks!
Hi Alex,
There are actually three ways to enter. The easiest one to explain is the one in Grand Anse Valley. Just take the road on the right as you’re coming up the hill from Lance aux Epines.
You can also look for the trail that’s located near Secret Harbor Marina. As you go down the hill towards the marina, look for the trail head on the left….it’s right beside a black fence.
You can also stop by Mocha Spoke and talk to me sometime so I can tell you about the trails in person.
Reminds me of St Croix.
Put it on the list of things Pamela and i have to see when we come visit you! Great to see you on Video
Yes, I’ll definitely take you guys there. The only drawback is there a lot of those bushes around the trail that have thorns. It’s pretty much guaranteed that at least one of us will get a flat.
Man, it’s going to be so great seeing you guys again.
What a beautiful view. It sounds like it’s quite windy on the bridge is it like that on the island as well?
Any good trails on Hog Island? Looks like it probably has a few hidden gems!
Hey Shawn, Hog Island is pretty tiny. There are some paths, but they aren’t cleared enough to ride…..if Hog Island was larger it would be a great island to do some riding.
I agree that if you can go by bike, why would you do it any other way. Nice video.
Thanks J Bones….I appreciate it.
