The Rides

An incomplete list of our completed and upcoming rides, how’s that for helpful…  We’ll be updating this space over the next few weeks to get it current.

Hack the Nation – June 16, 2013 to Mid -August – Yorktown VA to San Fransico CA via DefCon

Sponsored by Tenable Network Security, Tenacity Solutions, Ponte Technologies, MAD Security, ShmooCon, Van Pelt, Yi & James LLC, and Syncurity Networks.

The biggest ride.  Yorktown VA to Las Vegas, NV in time for DefCon 2013 then on to San Francisco CA.

Hack the Heat III – August 2 2013 – Las Vegas NV

Sponsored by Tenable Network SecurityTenacity SolutionsPonte TechnologiesMAD SecurityShmooConVan Pelt, Yi & James LLC, and Syncurity Networks.

Our third year of dragging hackers out of bed before dawn and tackling the west Las Vegas landscape. A fun, early morning ride the Friday of DefCon.  This is not a fundraiser, it’s just a fun ride in Vegas (if there is such a thing).

Hack the Heat – August 4 2011 – Las Vegas NV
Sponsored by BikeHugger and ShmooCon

A fun, early morning ride the Thursday before DefCon.  This is not a fundraiser, it’s just a fun ride in Vegas (if there is such a thing).  We’ll be renting bikes from a local bike shop and getting a tour guide for the ride.  We’re shooting for 20-25 miles starting at 6am.  We’re also making a custom jersey if ppl want to buy one.  More info on the DefCon forums and our twitter account.  Be sure to sign up so we know you’re riding.

Hack the Hat – September 27 – September 30 2011 – Cleveland OH Columbus, OH to Louisville KY

Our first big ride.  We’ll be riding from Columbus (probably) to Louisville KY and attending the first Derby Con once we arrive (some of us are even speaking).  The ride will be about 400 250 miles.  We’re still working out the route, so details may change, including dates and starting point.  It’ll still be a multi-day event the week before the con no matter what.  Interested in joining us?  Want some security geeks to stop by your hackerspace/school to give a talk and party a little?  Let us know. Update: Here’s the details.

Hack the Heat II – August 2012 – Las Vegas NV
Like the first Hack the Heat… only twoier. Once again, the goal is to make sure that the same number of people that start the ride, end the ride.

Hack the East – Summer 2012 – East Coast/New England
Sponsored by Ponte Technologies

An even bigger ride and our first real fundraiser.  We’re shooting for about 1000 miles over 2 weeks (give or take) and stopping at hacker spaces and colleges  along the way. We’re still figuring out the charity we’ll be working with. The ride will probably take place mid-June and head north from the DC area, up towards Boston, and back down.  If that’s not too much uncertainty for you, are you interested in joining us?
