What is an Ahupua’a?

What is the Kalihi Ahupua’a Ride (KAR)?
Who can participate?
Anyone interested in learning about the story of Kalihi that is not popularly known is welcome to participate. Whether you call Kalihi home or not, from keiki to kūpuna. All are welcome to participate! We are only registering 100 riders this year.
What about bike safety?
Safety is our priority! All participants are required to bring a bike with functioning breaks and wear a buckled and properly-fitted helmet when bicycling. We will provide recommended bike safety workshops for those who arenʻt familiar with riding a bicycle on the road and lead a 10-minute mandatory bike safety debriefing before the ride. The road going into Kalihi Valley can be very steep! All children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
The KAR is an educational ride that leads riders through the Ahupuaʻa of Kalihi. It makes important “Story Stops” at important locations where riders can learn about the cultural and historical significance of each place and its role in the changing face of Kalihi. The KAR is designed to uplift community spirit by offering the general public information on health resources, nutritious food access points, cultural and historical knowledge about Kalihi, and instilling a sense of pride for those who call Kalihi home.

I'll bet you won't guess which muscle in your body is the muscle that gets rid of joint and back pains, anxiety and burns fat.
If this "hidden" highly powerful primal muscle is healthy, you are healthy.
