Hills on repeat.

Chicago isn't known for its mountains. We're working with what we've got. Join us for weekly hill repeats, questionable amounts of vertical, and good company. All paces welcome. No registration. No excuses about the elevation.

Bad weather. Good hills.

Rain, wind, snow, cold, heat. We're not particularly picky.

Lightning, thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and other dangerous conditions are a different story. Stay safe and stay home.

Know your limits, dress for the conditions, and participate at your own risk. Check for schedule updates before heading out.

New here? Good.
