WHO DOESN’T LOVE ASCENSION?
One last ride. One last rip. One very good reason not to let the season end quietly.
The Hill Yeah Ride (HYR) is Southern California’s end-of-season celebration of bikes, hills and good times. Pick your poison: road or unroad, with plenty of climbing, timed KOM/QOM segments, on-course aid and at least one hill you’ve probably never ridden.
Want to hammer? Hammer. Want to ride hard with friends and finish the season with a story worth embellishing over a beer? Even better.
$50 gets you in.

RIDE IT. RACE IT. CELEBRATE IT.
We roll from The Lost Abbey at 8:00 AM. When the riding ends, Hill Yeah keeps rolling with a bike swap + expo, food trucks, beer garden, cycling brands, gear, bikes and plenty of people happy to talk about bikes for an unreasonable amount of time.
