The Ride

One island, one day, coast to canyon

Keʻe to Kokeʻe is a group ride, not a race — no numbers, no categories, no results. It runs from Haʻena on the north shore, around the east and south coasts, and finishes by climbing Kokeʻe Road toward Kanaloahuluhulu Meadow.

Bike a segment or several, or do the complete end-to-end ride. Support vehicles leapfrog the group, and we can transport your post-ride bag to the finish. There’s a potluck party when you’re done.

All-volunteer event. A small fee is collected to cover insurance for riders and organizers — nobody is making money on this one.

The Route

Start, stops & finish

Full turn-by-turn directions, including the two options through Kalaheo, are on the event flyer. Here’s the shape of the day:

WhereWhat happens
Start · 7:00 am
Dry Cave / Hāʻena Beach Park
Drop-off and roll out. Follow Kuhio Hwy, cross to the coastal path at north Kealia, continue toward Kapaʻa, then down to Lydgate after the Wailua River bridge.
1st Stop
Lydgate Beach Park
Meet by the main pavilion and bathrooms.
Optional Stop
Lihuʻe
A rest stop at a host’s house off Ahukini — address on the flyer. Then back out toward the airport, left on Rice St. toward Nāwiliwili and up past Menehune Fishpond.
2nd Stop
Kalawai Park, Kalaheo
Meet at the back bathroom area. Two ways to get here from the Lawai bridge — the shady, low-traffic Wawae back roads, or the faster, more direct highway. Both on the flyer.
3rd Stop

A break at a host’s house on Kaumualiʻi Hwy — address on the flyer — before the climb.
The climb

Climb toward Kanaloahuluhulu Meadow in Kokeʻe. Go as far up as you want, then ride back down. Alternate: ride the flat Mana plain out and back instead.
