Welcome to the ultimate one-week bicycle challenges in 2008!

Hell Week, with adventures in Texas (the original), Florida, Wisconsin, and the Desert Southwest offers between 600 and 860 miles of riding in 8 days (and maybe more if you're really adventurous).

Our slogan is "Eight Days A Week," because at Hell Week, eight days make one week (OK, so we're in our own time zone, but who's counting?) This format fits nicely into professional calendars because you can slip away from work for a week without having to dip too far into your vacation time.

Gator Country Hell Week is now in its twelfth year as a fully-supported tour of central and south Florida. Dates are always 28 December - 04 January. At a time when nearly everyone else is bemoaning the cold and snow, GCHW provides a chance to break away and experience what the weather should be like in winter. Type of Event: Fully-Supported Tour. Difficulty Rating: 1.5

Cheese Country Hell Week, is back for its fifth year in southwest Wisconsin in July 2008 (4th-11th). We are trying to replicate the Texas experience in the midwest. We have a great series of challenging, hilly rides through dairy and farm country. Type of Event: Base Camp. Difficulty Rating: 4

Trans-Texas Hell Week will roll again from El Paso to Shreveport in 15-22 June 2008. See and experience the Great State of Texas in its entire breadth. Type of Event: Fully-Supported Tour. Difficulty Rating: 3.0

Texas Hell Week Brevets are scheduled to coincide with Texas Hell Week, with a 200K/300K on Monday 16th March 2009, and a 200K/300K on Friday 20th March 2009. Type of Event: Brevet; Unsupported. Difficulty Rating: 2

Viva Las Vegas Hell Week is planned for 15-22 May 2008. Start/finish in Las Vegas; four states and 40,000+ feet of climbing. Desert conditions: heat, wind, long climbs. Type of Event: Fully-Supported Tour. Difficulty Rating: 5

Texas Hell Week is the original, and is now looking at its 19th anniversary in 2009 (March 14-21). Located in Fredericksburg TX, over 325 riders have been coming to this German hamlet for some of the best rural riding this side of Eden. Type of Event: Base Camp. Difficulty Rating: 2.5
