2025 HMC & AFR:
On April 27th, over 700 people came to O‘ahu’s North Shore to ride and support our great cycling scene. It was a beautiful day and we saw hundreds of smiles and shakas as riders came back to Kaiaka Bay Beach park and ride under the finish arch.
This ride is not only a celebration of cycling but also serves as a fundraiser to support HBL’s mission of promoting bicycling in Hawai‘i. Participants benefit from aid stations, mechanical support, and the camaraderie of fellow cyclists, making it a cherished event for both locals and visitors. Everyone at Hawai‘i Bicycling League is thankful for a successful event and we hope to see you at the Honolulu Century Ride and Aloha Fun Ride on September 28th.

HIdrate and Mochi Foods donated hydration mixes that were at all the aid stations and waffles we were cooking up at the finish area.
