The Kalihi Ahupuaʻa Ride is a community bike ride from mauka (mountain) to makai (ocean) across the ahupuaʻa and community of Kalihi. This eight-mile downhill ride highlights several “story stops” where riders learn about the cultural and historic significance of each place and its role in transforming the vibrant ahupuaʻa over time. The purpose of the ride is to uplift community spirit, share information on health resources, celebrate the abundance of Kalihi and instill a sense of pride in all those who call Kalihi home.

THERE WILL NOT BE AN OPTION TO REGISTER ON THE DAY OF THE RIDE. If we do not have your completed registration form by April 6, 2023, you will not be able to participate in the ride.
