I see registration for Horribly Hilly Hundreds opens Feb. 1st and I'm giving it a shot for the first time this year. Your experiences with getting in? How competitive does the lottery get? Does 100K vs. 150K matter? I know a bunch of you have done this one...

The lottery gets tougher and tougher every year as more people sign up for the ride.


The good news is that they allow transfers, so you should not have any problems finding an entery if you are not one if the lottery winners.

I have gotten in every time. It is a popular ride and it is a blast. You can sign up for the 100k but change your mind while on the ride if you want to. The 100k splits off from the 150k and you can decide then. I would recommend doing the 100k being your first year. The hills are VERY TOUGH. I am still thinking of doing this one this year too. This would be my 4th time. :/

Please excuse Firstnet with the multiple posts. He doesn't get on BT much anymore and apparently got rather 'twitchy' from his excitement.

Last year was the first time doing it (100K), and yes, it was tough...toughest ride I've ever done. Fantastic scenery though. I was able to find a transfer, which was a very easy process to do online, so certainly look into that option if needed.

Probably lean towards doing the 100k unless you're a rather strong rider who's used to going farther. If I remember right, it's more like 68-70 miles than the 62 or so precisely 100k would be. That and it tends to feel longer due to going so much slower on the hills. Not really the type to just sit & spin up. If you're ready to work at times it's a lot of fun!

I got in - this will be my first as well.

I was looking - looks like the campground at Blue Mounds is already full - do a lot of people just camp near or at the park for the ride?
