The road to Hell was paved with bike tires, city permits, creative costumes and live music as San Marcos’ most notorious tradition returned for its 12th year on Nov. 1.

Hell Ride is an annual event that brings riders together on bikes, skates, skateboards, scooters and all kinds of wheeled devices to travel from one house party to the next, enjoying local bands and camaraderie along the way.

This was the first year that the bike collective that hosted the event, the San Marcos Pedal Department, worked with the city to secure permits. Last year’s ride was shut down early by the San Marcos Police Department and resulted in fines for the organizers.
