Horner Hell Repeats
An hour of questionable decisions.
Wednesday mornings at 5:30. A short, focused hill session at Horner Park.
Climb at your own effort, take the descents easy or bomb 'em, and then repeat. It's a straightforward way to get some elevation into the middle of your week.
Despite the name, beginners are welcome.

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.
First time?
No problem. You don't have to be fast, and you don't have to finish every repeat. The hill isn't going anywhere.
