Proof of Registration While Participating

Proof of registration is REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES while on the Horribly Hilly routes. Proof of registration includes the visible display of BOTH your bib number and the wristband provided when you enter the start corral. Your bib number should be worn on the back of your jersey.

Rest stop crews and course marshal staff will strictly enforce compliance with proof of registration. Failure to wear your bib and wristband will keep you from getting any support from rest stops or SAG/mechanical support and will result in forfeiture of post-ride celebration and/or future registrations.

Rules of the Road

Horribly Hilly Hundreds is a bike ride, not a race. Please keep this fact in mind as you prepare.

ALL TRAFFIC LAWS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES. VIOLATORS WILL RISK BEING CITED AND/OR FINED.

Please respect the residents and municipalities who have so graciously granted us the rights to ride through their communities. Plenty of resources are provided along the course. We will not tolerate violations of law. Acts of trespassing, public urination, disorderly conduct, etc., could lead to sanctions including an event participation ban and/or prosecution.

** If riding an electric bike (e-bike), please be aware of the posted opening times for each aid station.

200K:

The 200K option of the HHH offers 124.2 miles of riding. You’ll climb 40 significant rises, from 50-foot bumps to the 910-foot final climb, for a total of 10,700 feet of elevation gain. The ride has four full-service rest stops, including bathrooms, at mile markers 24, 44, 65, 98 and the finish line. Leg C is the easiest, a respite in preparation for legs D and E. There will be mini-water stops at critical intersections where you can fill up your water bottle and get a banana or granola bar, but those will not have restrooms.

Staying on the route is facilitated by maps, cue sheets, and adhesive arrows on the road. Sag wagons, medical support, and repair trucks will be available. Bring extra tubes and other spares, especially if you use sew-up tires or non-standard gear. We recommend a minimum of a 27-tooth rear cassette. Many successful completers of the HHH have used a rear MTB derailleur with a 32- or 34-tooth, or a triple crank.

Ham radio operators will be manning the course. Stop any of them or a sag wagon if you need assistance. In the event of a serious emergency, use your cell phone or get to the nearest house and call 911.
