Hill Killerz Lunch Hillz
Tuesday lunchtime Portland hill repeat sessions on SE 52nd Ave during Pedalpalooza. Show up, ride the hill over and over, earn a shiny Hill Killerz sticker.
The vibe
Grind the hill, earn the sticker
The premise is simple: show up to SE 52nd Ave at lunch, ride the hill repeatedly until you’ve done five laps, and earn a shiny Hill Killerz sticker. That’s it. No team kit, no Strava segment battle, just you and a Portland hill and however many other cyclists decided that a Tuesday lunch break is the perfect time to suffer a little.
Organized by Maria the Bicycle Kitty, Lunch Hillz runs during Pedalpalooza season as an accessible entry point to the hill repeat concept. Five attempts is the target — if you’ve never done repeats before, this is a supportive place to start, and if you’re a seasoned climber looking for a casual midweek interval session, the sticker prize is still worth chasing.
Rules are simple: no complaining, do whatever you want, and don’t sue anyone. Classic Portland. Bring water, some lunch for after, and enough goodwill for whatever hill the day serves up.
