Optional Hillier Race/TT:
Any rider interested in finding what their capabilities and potential are should try the "Hillier Hustle" 100mi Open Road Race/Time Trial.

Rider Support
We have kept costs down for higher rider payout. We still have more amenities and support that raise this event beyond a century/benefit ride and any race that you've ever done. We LISTEN to our riders every year by incorporating multiple rider ideas and suggestions (e.g. clothing drops, energy bars/gels @RRs).
There are more REST STOPS on ALL routes than typical rides. They will have almost anything needed to keep you going.
Our cues/arrows are positioned that typically no one makes a wrong turn. Some previous years T-shirts will be for sale the day of the race/event.
