What the HECK.

NEW FOR 2024!! The Heck of the North will be held independently of the Hell of the North. The Heck will be held on Saturday, May 25 and the Hell will be held the following day on Sunday May 26th.

It may be the Hell of the North’s 15th year anniversary but the Heck has stood the test of time and has been alive and kicking for the past 11 years! Yes you read that correctly. The Heck of the North has been around for 11 years. Way back when, we decided we needed an alternative route to compliment the Hell and give roadies a day on the bike they would never forget.

This ride was built for everyone. It is a road event for roadies on road bikes. The Heck is for anyone who wishes to be tested but doesn't want to dismount or ride through a farmers field like the crazies that do the Hell. The Heck of the North is a 70 kilometre route that will still include many of the amazing “paved” roads used in the Hell of the North but there are no off-road sections, farmers fields, or the nasty trench. This means you can ride a regular road bike on this beauty. There is only one hard packed gravel section. The rest of the course is 99% asphalt.

The best part is… WE WILL HAVE A BEER GARDEN! Creemore Springs Brewery will be on site providing gifts, prizing and delicious cold Creemore Spring beer! Please tell your friends and help get the word out. Many out there still think the Heck isn’t for them but in reality it is for everyone and anyone…. they just don’t know it yet.
