Dance and music play as important a role in the Lakota Sioux culture as they do for the Hawaiian people. Likewise there is a depth beyond what you may have seen in film and television. It has been over a decade since the group last performed in Hawai‘i. Given the enthusiastic reception from audiences, that is far too long between visits. Their performances are in high demand but they are always as pleased to perform in Hawai‘i as we are to have them.

The non-competitive nature and the choices of routes a cyclist can take make this more of an enjoyable ride rather than a race. Starting at Kapiolani Park, riders are able to choose from 20, 25, 40, 50, 75 and 100 miles depending on ability and preference. The ride takes them along the beautiful East O'ahu Coastline venturing as far north as Kahalu'u for the experienced. The finishers will be greeted to live entertainment and food booths at the finish line. Event starts at 6:15 am at Kapiolani Park.
