Launched on November 3rd, 2012, Judah dal Cais,
the founder of T3 Honu, created the club to inspire
and motivate members to train and race “for
ourselves and our families.” The T3 vision is simple:
As a club, our members will grow as we discover, evolve,
challenge, experience, take risks, break boundaries in
pursuit of a lifetime of health & fitness..
in getting us up and running!
We began our first season with four goals:

Community Community Phoenix Bikes provide a fun, safe, and
challenging environment for local youth
through building & running a great
community bike shop.
Teaching bike repair, mechanics, and an
entrepreneurial spirit, Phoenix Bikes offer
local youth real-world skills and education
that will better prepare them for the future.
In our inaugural season the Honu donated
$2,500 from our crab fest to support a great
cause for great local kids.
Martha’s Table helps 1,100 people a day deal
with the immediate effects of poverty and finds
long-term solutions with education, nutrition,
and family support services. Martha’s Table
addresses emergency needs with food and
clothing programs and breaks the long cycle of
poverty with education and family
strengthening programs. More than 10,000
people volunteer each year and learn about the
value of helping their neighbors.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of
Jennifer Peregoy, T3 Honu supported Martha’s
Table every month during the 2013 season by
volunteering to distribute meals to the homeless
in Washington, DC.
T3 Honu looks forward to continuing its
support to Martha’s Table in the 2014 Season.

The Honu For native Hawai’ians the sea turtle, or honu, symbolizes
longevity, peace, good luck, humility, long life, and the spirit of
aloha within us. T3 was founded on those principles.
Legend tells about a green sea turtle, Kauila, who
could change herself into a girl to watch over the
children playing at Punalu'u Beach on the Big
Island. When Kauila's mother dug her nest, a
fresh water spring surged upward,
quenching the children's thirst. Kauila is
the "mythical mother" of all turtles, and
perhaps of our children as well. It's also
said that turtles were the guides for the
first voyagers to Hawai’i.
