Event Information

The Road to Hotter’N Hell is a premier six-ride series specifically curated to prepare cyclists for the rigors of the iconic Hotter’N Hell Hundred (HHH). Known as a “Ride of Passage” for Texas cyclists, the HHH presents extreme challenges including triple-digit heat, unrelenting winds, and tactical hills. This series offers a structured pathway for riders to build the necessary endurance and resilience through five community-focused rallies, culminating in the main event in Wichita Falls.

Each installment in the series provides a variety of route distances, allowing participants to gradually increase their mileage throughout the spring and summer. Beyond the physical training, the series is celebrated for its community spirit and classic Texas hospitality. Whether your goal is to finish your first century or to set a personal best, the Road to Hotter’N Hell turns a daunting challenge into an achievable, month-by-month journey.
