🌙 DON’T FORGET THE LIGHTS!
HOT runs from 9 AM–9 PM, so later laps mean riding the course after dark. Make sure you have a solid lighting setup and are prepared for nighttime riding.
And remember — you don’t have to race for 12 straight hours! Chase the podium, race with a team, get in a few laps, hang out with friends, or cheer on the racers. Make HOT your own. 🤘
HOT is still the family-friendly festival we love, with a race course designed to bring a challenge this year. Know your skills, know your limits, and come ready for an awesome day at Haw Ridge!
