2026 Hell of the North Texas

4/16 Update: URGENT: Hell of the North Texas – Reschedule & Major Project Update Greetings Riders, Due to heavy rainfall forecast for overnight Friday and throughout the day on Saturday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Saturday’s event. While some might say "suffering" is part of the tradition, we believe the Spirit of Rider Safety must come first.

The New Plan: A North Texas Double-Header We are shifting the event date to Sunday, July 19th. This aligns us with the Tour de Paris weekend, creating a fantastic "double feature" opportunity for those looking to make a full weekend of it in Paris. A Massive Announcement (Wink, Wink) There’s a silver lining to this move: That weekend, we expect to officially introduce The USA Trail to the world. We’ll be announcing the first official USA Trail destination city, along with its associated amenities and support. You’ll want to be there for this. Registration Details Automatic Transfer: Your entry has already been moved to the new July 19th date. Can’t make the new date? If you are not a Club Spinistry member and cannot attend, you will receive full credit toward any future Spinistry event or a Club Spinistry membership. The "Die-Hard" Clause We wanted to get this out early so you can adjust your travel and lodging. However, if you’re one of those hardcore types who plans to ride out of Paris this weekend regardless of what the sky does, reply to this email. If there are enough die-hards, we may help organize an informal, self-supported group roll-out. Otherwise, stay dry, and we will see you in July for a historic weekend!
