September 26-28, 2025
What is the Ride Aloha Festival?
Hawai‘i Bicycling League was founded in 1975. We presented our first Honolulu Century Ride in 1981. In 2016, we held the first Honolulu Aloha Fun Ride with shorter distance courses. Then in 2023, we hosted the first Ho’omaka reception to celebrate the 40th Honolulu Century Ride. Since 2024, we have re-imagined these experiences into the Ride Aloha Festival, a three day weekend celebrating the love of cycling in Hawai‘i.

Hawai‘i’s signature cycling event!
The ride starts from Kapi‘olani Park, takes you past Diamond Head just after sunrise, out to Sandy Beach, through the beautiful backroads of Waimānalo, through Kailua and Kāne‘ohe, with the 100 mile turnaround point at Swanzy Beach Park, and then returning to finish at Kapi‘olani Park.
The route is mostly flat with a few moderate hills and a prevailing east or north-east wind that usually is blowing at 5-15 miles per hour.
This is a ride, not a race, and roads remain open. Ride at your own pace, all skill levels and ages are welcome. Please ride with aloha.

Hawai‘i Bicycling League:
As O‘ahu’s oldest and largest cycling organization, Hawaii Bicycling League is working hard to achieve our mission of “enabling more people to bicycle for health, recreation, and transportation through advocacy, education, and events”.
We advocate for bicycle-friendly, safer street changes, including laws to protect people on bikes and other vulnerable road users, more bikeways and Complete Streets, as well as the policies and funding to make Hawaii a bicycle paradise.
We educate bicyclists and motorists on how to safely share our roads and to ensure anyone that wants to bike is empowered to bike. We educate over 8,000 4th graders on Oahu every year, growing the next generation of cyclists.
We host events both big and small to get people bicycling and bring together a community around the love of cycling.
This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our members, riders, contributors, and volunteers.
Mahalo for being part of the Ride Aloha Festival. All funds raised will go toward HBL’s advocacy and education efforts to make Hawai‘i’s streets safer for all.
If you want to “go the extra mile”, here is your opportunity.
Mahalo to our 2025 Sponsors!
