HCR is a family-friendly ride, so bring your loved ones!

T-28 DAYS UNTIL THE HONOLULU CENTURY RIDE!

Do you like biking with friends? Well you may be interested to know that the longest tandem had a staggering 35 seats and was around 67 feet in length! But you don’t need that long of a tandem to participate in HCR with your friends. All you need is your trusty bike and other friends with bikes! HCR allows road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, cruisers, tandems, pedal-assist e-bikes–all bicycles that can be operated safely can be ridden. Just make sure your bike is in good operating order. Register today at: https://hbl.redpodium.com/hcr22

“Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.”

WE STILL NEED 193 VOLUNTEER POSITIONS FILLED FOR HCR!

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” —Helen Keller
These words couldn’t be more true! HCR is the BIGGEST ride in the state which means we need more volunteers to help make this event happen. We have positions ranging from packet stuffing to flag bearers, so bring your friends and family! Sign up to volunteer at: https://volunteersignup.org/97HQF
