Description

Perennial winner of Bicycling Magazine and the League of American Bicyclists Best Biking in America Awards. The Central Indiana Bicycling Association, Inc. (CIBA) is proud to sponsor the 43rd Annual Hilly Hundred Weekend, a classic bicycling event designed for the touring cyclists. If you like a bicycling challenge that includes entertainment and fellowship with more than 5,000 cyclists from over 40 states and several foreign countries, the Hilly is for you.

• This three day event is held in the scenic hills of southern Indiana.
• The challenging terrain is a wonderful mix of gently rolling country roads and breathtaking hills (literally).
• In 2010, the Saturday route has been changed to use less of busy SR 43 and more county roads that are in better condition. Small villages on this new route are Whitehall, Newark and Solsberry. It will even nip off the far west side of Bloomington. There are some hills and scenic views on the new route that will leave you breathless.
• On Sunday, riders will head out toward perennial favorite, Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Not to be overlooked is everyone’s favorite bragging hill, Mt. Tabor. A short route will be available.
• There is free food and live(ly) entertainment at each of three rest stops on both Saturday and Sunday.
• Attendance is limited so get your entry in early.
• As always, the Hilly is not a race, so come for a challenging tour but leave the racing gear at home.
• You must wear a bicycle helmet to participate in the ride.

Ride Headquarters

Headquarters for the weekend is Edgewood High School, 601 S. Edgewood Drive, Ellettsville, Indiana. This is where the ride starts and finishes each day. A staggered start on both Saturday and Sunday morning is traditional.

Hilly Hundred Merchandise

• There’s something for everyone, but please pre-order because quantities for sale at the Hilly will be limited.

Great Food Available Saturday Morning, Saturday Afternoon and Sunday Morning

• These meals, prepared by the Edgewood High School Booster groups, are optional and require an extra charge.
• Early Saturday morning you will have the opportunity to fuel up at the school before tackling the day’s ride.
• Late Saturday afternoon there will be a mouth-watering dinner to help you recharge.
• Early Sunday morning you can begin the day with a hearty breakfast to energize you for the day’s challenges.

Although I can't so it this year, I highly recommend it if you are looking for a beautiful 2 day ride with actual hills! It's about a 5 hour drive from Chicago.
