WheelBrothers, Hotter’N Hell is practically family – you’ve got its every mile memorized. That 103-mile stretch of Texas flatland, baked under a merciless sun, with winds that test your grit—it’s our kind of ride. You’ve powered through the heat, leaned into the breeze, and rolled past rest stops stocked with pickle juice and cheers. This isn’t just any event; it’s the biggest single-day century ride in the country, a Texas tradition that brings us together, year after sweaty year. And now, it’s up for USA Today’s Best Road Cycling Event. Time to step up and vote it to the top!
You’ve felt the Hotter’N Hell magic firsthand. The cannon blast at Scott Avenue, the endless ribbon of pavement stretching out, the 3,500 volunteers pouring 15,000 gallons of water and sports drink to keep us going—it’s a machine built on community. It’s 103 miles of pure endurance, where the heat and the hustle make every pedal count. You’ve done it, loved it, and maybe even cursed it a little. Now, let’s make sure the nation knows it’s the best.
Here’s the deal: Hotter’N Hell is in the running, but it needs your votes—every day until March 24th at 10:59am. Hit this link: https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/best-road-cycling-event/. One click a day, that’s all it takes. Less effort than clipping in, more impact than a tailwind on the home stretch. We’ve got the numbers—thousands of riders who’ve tackled this beast—so let’s use them. Voting’s open now, and we’re not stopping till it’s #1.
This is about more than a title. It’s a nod to the ride that defines our summers, the one we prep for, talk about, and recover from together. It’s for the volunteers who’ve got our backs, the riders who’ve shared the road, and the sheer stubborn spirit of Hotter’N Hell. Other events are in the mix, but none match our scale, our heart, or our heat. We can’t let them steal this—not when we know what’s at stake.
So, WheelBrothers, let’s get it done. Click that link and vote today. Then tomorrow. Then every day till March 24th at 10:59am.
