Rockwall Rotary's 23rd Hot Rocks will be on the 2nd Saturday in August - on August 8, 2009.  2009 Registration is now available - CLICK TO REGISTER.  Print and Mail Registration Form.

Hot Rocks is an annual cycling event put on by the Rockwall Rotary Club.  ROUTES THIS YEAR WILL BE FREE OF CONSTRUCTION! The proceeds from the ride benefit Rotary college scholarships. The ride attracts all levels of riders from aggressive to children and offers 10, 20, 43, and 62 mile courses. Volunteers provide rest stops every 8 to 10 miles serving drinks, ice, and fruit. All entrants receive the Hot Rocks T-shirt, on-site lunch, and the top three male and female finishers of the 62 mile ride receive cash awards: 1st - $250, 2nd - $175, 3rd - $100. There will also be gift certificates for the top three family’s - with a male rider under 14, and the top three family’s - with a female rider under 14. Additionally, one of our sponsors, Rockwall Cycling Club, has agreed to donate 24 oz custom water bottles to the first 600 registrants who pick up their ride packets.

This year our Race Start Time has been moved up to 7:30 A.M. to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures.  Another change for 2009 will be Staged Start Waves.  With these innovations and new, construction free routes - Hot Rocks 2009 promises to be better than ever!
