Where Your Money Goes
Making Miles Matter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. 100% of event registration proceeds go to healthcare causes and the families behind them — starting with neighbors in Hancock County, where HHH has been the front door of this community for 50+ years. No overhead skim. No middlemen.
Healthcare Causes & Families
Direct help — treatment costs, travel, groceries, essentials — for families navigating real hardship.
Event Infrastructure
Rest stops, SAG vehicles, course marking, safety, and rider support that make the events real.
Community Programs
Free weekly group rides, hikes, adventures, and the gatherings that keep movement going year-round.
Local Partnerships
Local businesses and care organizations who anchor the work — and who we route help through.
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 2025 ride brought 202 people back to the start line. We're collecting their stories — and the stories of the volunteers, sponsors, and families on the other end of the cause — to put right here.
If you rode HHH, volunteered, sponsored, or were helped by the mission — we want your story. miles@makingmilesmatter.com.
