The Hilly Hundred

2017 Hilly Hundred
October 6-8


The Hilly Hundred is a 100-mile bike ride around scenic county roads around Southern Indiana. However, if you are not up for the 100-mile challenge, there are shorter routes available. This event is spread out into two day, so you will do up to 50 miles each day. The “Hilly” Part comes from the elevations that you will climb, on Saturday you will climb approximately 3229 feet for the long ride (53.7 miles), and 2127 feet for the short ride (32.7 miles). On the last day, you will climb approximately 3229 feet for the long ride (51.7 miles), and for the short ride you will climb 1830 feet (31.1 miles).
