*Volunteer must be riding on the bus!

Roberts Hawaii will be showing their aloha and providing school buses to load riders and their bikes on. The “Bus Boss” will be given a rider check-in for their bus to check bus-riders in, as well as some points to read to your fellow ride participants during the bus ride over.

Ka‘ena Point Rider Assist

Going through Ka‘ena Point is an off-road adventure! Help your fellow riders by being stationed along Ka‘ena Point to assist in the tricky spots and make sure riders get through safely.

 Friendship Ride Leaders

July 13 (Sat), throughout your ride

Show your aloha by riding in Zach’s Ride and being a Friendship Ride Leader. Those that have some minor bike maintenance (can help with flat fixing) and are willing to stop and help someone in need will get a special Zach’s Ride Bib and a small mahalo gift. Friendship Ride Leaders should know the course and are encouraged to carry with them basic flat fixing tools (hand pump, patch kit, & tire levers; optional: 15mm wrench, other tools).

These riders are super heroes! They are strong riders who will bike behind the last rider. Zach’s Ride is about safety, but it’s also a lot about showing aloha. You can do so by taking up a leg of the ride as a Ride Sweeper! No one gets left behind (encourage them onward, or help call Command to pick up a rider who cannot make it to the next Ride Start Location in time). Ride Sweepers should know the course well, when the Aid Stations are set to close, have some mechanical skills, and carry with them basic bike tools (required: hand pump, patch kit, & tire levers, optional: 15mm wrench, other tools). If you take on this important role expect to get lot of respect & gratitude from other riders, and a mahalo gift from HBL to you!
