# Honolulu Century Ride

TRIP&TRAVEL
For Those Who Want to Enjoy Honolulu Even More

The Honolulu Century Ride has just wrapped up for this year. Following last year, it was another fulfilling day filled with breathtaking views and unexpected encounters.Many HCR participants seem to return home on flights either the night after the event or the following day. However, I hope you’ll make the most of every last moment in Honolulu. That’s why I’m here to share some exclusive tips I’ve gathered myself as GR Communication Director, just for you. First, let me introduce the Highway Inn, a spot serving authentic Hawaiian food located in the SALT complex of the Kakaʻako district, which I’ve mentioned in another article. It’s about 6 kilometers from Waikīkī, roughly […]

Oahu is ten times more enjoyable by bicycle.

This is Daisaku Kawase, Global Ride’s Communication Director, currently staying on Oahu as the Honolulu Century Ride (HCR) approaches once again this year. Oahu, the host island of the event, offers so much more than just Waikiki — it’s home to many charming and vibrant neighborhoods. If you’ve made it all the way to Hawaii, it would be a shame not to explore beyond the usual spots! I highly recommend Kailua, located on Oahu’s eastern coast. It’s about 40 kilometers from Waikiki if you follow the scenic coastal route. Kailua is home to the second aid station of the HCR and holds strong ties to former President Obama. It’s also a charming beach town filled with stylish shops. Whil […]

Honolulu is ten times more enjoyable by bicycle.

The Honolulu Century Ride (HCR) is just around the corner again this year! The 100 mile (160 km) course, filled with ups and downs, is an absolute thrill. But since you’re already in Honolulu, you’ll want to make the most of the city as well, right? That’s why I suggest exploring the city by bicycle. A light 10 km ride will help shake off the fatigue from the long flight, allow you to get used to riding on the right side of the road, and help you feel more confident heading into the HCR. Even if you’re just visiting Hawaii for sightseeing, there’s more to the city than Waikiki and Ala Moana Center. By hopping on a bike, you can enjoy the real Honolulu. Share bikes, which ar […]

#4 First Hawaii Ride – Test Run Episode

Sudden events led me to participate in the Honolulu Century Ride (HCR) in Hawaii, which takes place in September. I brought my road bike with me, and this is my first experience riding abroad. So far, I’ve written about the bike transportation from Japan and my initial impressions upon arriving in Hawaii. Now, let’s dive into the exciting part – my first ride in Hawaii!

#3 Hawaii was incredibly Hawaii.

What kind of impression comes to your mind when you hear about Hawaii? I’ve disliked it for as long as I can remember. I thought it was a place where celebrities go to frolic, where people ride banana boats and make a lot of noise, and it was filled with “ignorance-based prejudice.” I’ve never been a fan of glitzy things. I originally studied literature, and I’m actually quite introverted. I thought I’d never go there in my life. However, life is unpredictable. I was invited to participate in the Honolulu Century Ride for an article on this website. At 54 years old, I unexpectedly found myself embarking on my first trip to Hawaii. When I wrote on Facebook […]
