About
Conquer rugged Texas terrain in a thrilling gravel adventure.
The Hell of the North Texas 2025 is a gravel cycling event based out of Paris, TX. Scheduled for May 3, 2025, the event typically offers 35-, 50-, and 75-mile route options that twist through the wide-open gravel roads of Northeast Texas. Due to severe storms and adverse weather conditions, the ride for 2025 is a self-navigated club ride instead of marked, supported courses, but still welcomes the strong community spirit and adventure that define the event. Organized by Club Spinistry and free for members (trial membership included), riders enjoy neutral water tables, post-ride snacks, and the companionship of fellow gravel enthusiasts. If weather remains an issue, the event will be rescheduled for later in the summer.
COURSE DETAILS
