Back for year two, we’re excited to host Hot Laps once again! This is a come-and-go event that kicks off at 6:30 AM and rolls all the way until 5:00 PM. The route is 10 miles long, so one lap equals 10 miles. Want to ride 100 miles? Do 10 laps. Looking for a 40-mile day? Ride 4. It’s a fun way to challenge yourself, ride at your own pace, and enjoy a fully supported day on the bike. With a supported start and finish area for every lap, Hot Laps is designed to be low-stress and worry-free. This event is perfect for all ages, all ability levels, and families. We’ll have games, prizes, hydration, nutrition, and plenty of encouragement to keep the fun going all day long. There will also be a podium photo op in our Winners Circle, because this is the kind of event where everyone is welcome and everyone gets to feel like a winner! Details: 6:30 AM – 5:00 PM $10 per person $20 per family/group - all participants for this pricing MUST sign up at the same time for the discount to apply. Begin b
