**HIHX UPDATE**
So we’re in a pretty tough spot here. Colorado’s latest public health order still has a maximum gathering restriction of 10 people and we have 388 people registered. We’ve weighed a ton of options and came to the realization that a traditional 100s in the Hills simply couldn’t happen this year.
We’re a different event. Staying apart isn’t what we do. We shake hands and hug and high five. We sit and eat dinner too close together and we stand around a campfire next to each other talking and laughing late into the evening. Our kids play and run around together. And let’s be honest, most of us haven’t showered in a few days either. Health and safety is our number one priority and the logistics of working around the state and local restrictions proved to be impossible.
We are officially postponing HIHX until July 27 – August 1st 2021.
-Everyone will receive a refund within the next 3-4 days. (minus the PayPal and Eventbrite transfer fees. Approx. $15)
-Your spot for HIHX 2021 is secure. We will have a private registration for next year’s event that will open prior to regular registration and will give you the first opportunity to confirm your spot. Any leftover spots will be available to those not registered for this year’s event.
-You will also receive an email shortly explaining more details
Not being able to get together in the traditional sense completely changes our summer vacation plans, but it won’t stop us from getting out and enjoying some trails together. Here’s the plan…
HIH2020 - The VirtuALL Escape
HIH2020 will be the first virtual-gathering offroad event that we know of. Your vacation plans have already been made so you might as well get out and enjoy some trail time in your local area, far from home, or even in the mountains of Colorado. We’re calling this event - HIH 2020 The VirtuALL Escape. It’s open to everyone and will take place during July 22 – August 22 2020. A month-long virtual event that we will all participate in either from our home area or out and about throughout the country. There will undoubtedly be mini groups that get together and run trails. Chris and I plan to be in the mountains around Silverton for most of the first week of the event. We’re considering a virtual scavenger hunt with challenges for everyone that can be featured on social media. We have some great ideas that should keep this fun for everyone. There is obviously no cost and no registration, we just want everyone to get out and learn a new area on their own.
We have partnered with Cruiser Gear for a HIH 2020 VirtuALL Escape t-shirt that we are super excited about. Everyone knows the deal, HIH isn’t a money making event and we are keeping the shirt somewhat limited because we didn’t have the money to create and purchase a large quantity of t-shirts without knowing how many might sell. Having a cool shirt available will also help us cover the costs for this year’s event that were not refundable to us. We keep a small amount of leftover money each year to cover website costs and pay for our insurance, permitting and general costs. We tried to create a shirt that folks would want to have and we’ve chosen the highest quality shirts and worked with Cruiser Gear to come up with a great design that represents what we’re attempting to do. We hope you’ll like it. We'll make an announcement as soon as the shirt is live on Cruiser Gear's website. (very soon)
Expect more info to come shortly. We wanted to get the initial information out as soon as we could. We have some cool ideas for the VirtuALL event and expect folks to enjoy the challenges. It is what it is and as much as we’d like to all be together in Silverton, it just isn’t possible this year. We hope to see you out and about, we hope to see your local area and we truly hope that you’ll purchase a shirt and participate in the HIH 2020 VirtuALL Escape with us. We will be back and better than ever next year for the HIHX celebration. Stay tuned on here, on our website and on social media.

. Just in case, by some random chance, I can accidently follow some of my other hard headed faceless Internet friends, that just happen to be in the Silverton area, at the same time, on random dirt trails
