Maui will once again be hosting a Memorial Ride as part of the global Ride of Silence movement, which takes place in hundreds of locations every year to honor cyclists who have been hit or killed while riding on public roadways. We’ll be riding in silence along the bike path beginning in Kihei for a total of 13.2 miles.
About
We’ll meet at the intersection of Piilani Hwy & Kaiwahine Street at 8:45am. The group will ride north for 6.6 miles and turn around at Maui Veterans Hwy & Hookele St. To honor cyclists who have been hit or killed on Maui’s roadways, participants are asked to ride in silence wearing white jerseys/shirts.
Optional: Those who wish to ride longer can continue on to Makena Landing Beach Park for an additional 20.8 miles and a total of 34 miles roundtrip.
Ride Leaders: Chuck and Alan
