Our Journey So Far
1974
HHH Founded
The Hancock Horizontal Hundred begins as a small group ride in Findlay, Ohio. It grows into one of Ohio's most recognized century tours.
~2005
Peak Era
HHH draws 1,000+ riders annually. Rest stops stocked by the community. Patches and pancake breakfasts become tradition.
2019
The Hiatus
The Hancock Handlebars Bicycle Club folds and the HHH goes dormant after 45 years. The roads go quiet.
2025
The Revival
Making Miles Matter brings the HHH back. 202 riders show up. The tradition continues — under new stewardship with a broader mission.
2026
Expansion
MMM launches the Findlay Further Fondo, weekly group rides, an adventures program, Wheels & Reels film nights, and a membership platform. The goal: 400 riders at HHH, year-round impact.
Community Voices
The people who ride, volunteer, and support MMM — in their own words.
“I did my first century at the HHH. The flat roads, the rest stops, the other riders cheering you on — it's the perfect first hundred.”
