Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on May 28th, 2012, 1:50pm FROM THE HHH100 website -- THE ROUTES HAVE CHANGED: Check out the new route for the 100 mile RIDE. For the first time, 100 mile riders will go through Sheppard Air Force Base and PYRO PETE and Hell’s Gate will move to downtown Electra! http://www.hh100.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2012-HHH-100-Mile-Proposed-Route.pdf http://www.hh100.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/HHH-OVERALL-RIDE-MAP-2012-with-Bailout.pdf |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on May 28th, 2012, 5:19pm Wow, that's very different. I've always complained that I never have ridden through the base because I've always done the 100 mile route. I guess that will change. I notice this new route makes the course to go mostly uphill the first half and mostly downhill the second half. That will be fun. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on May 29th, 2012, 7:24am OH MY GAWD, THEY'VE MOVED THE ROUTE AWAY FROM THE BEER STOP....... Maybe the AFBase guys could set one up........ |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on May 29th, 2012, 11:21am What advice would you give for someone wanting to ride the 100 for the first time (other than just start practicing)...longest to date I believe is 26 (leisurely) miles with no problems and felt great afterward...for some reason I just want to do this ride. I want to get with someone that can already do this kind of distance and see what it feels like. Maybe some laps at WRL or something just to see if I can go that far...I'm planning to start riding more after work other than just my commute, but we'll see how that goes with the family priorities... |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by TonyWard on May 29th, 2012, 12:01pm Jim - I can give you fresh perspective on this as HHH was my first century back in 2010. Send me a PM or email or something if you want to get together Saturday morning and ride. More than likely I'll have to be back by noon so I will be starting early! WRL might be good so that we can ride together and start/finish whenever we are ready. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on May 30th, 2012, 8:55am In further conversations with Tony, I recalled a 50K I did while I was deployed to Diego Garcia. I did it on an MTB and I was sore and tired afterward. I dropped off our group to help a friend with a flat and never recovered the group. Towards the end I met up with another lone MTB rider and we exchanged drafting as best we could just to finish. Of course there was only support (water) at the 25K turn, but I was still able to finish. I did that with no training at all...just jumped on my bike and went! I'm now looking into training, riding nutrition and eating on a bike. I also calulated that with at least a 10.9 average I could make Hell's Gate by the 12:30 closing time. |

One tends to have a faster than usual average on the HHH ride, because it's relatively flat terrain, and you get some random drafting help with all the packs passing by, and you might even hook up with others riding at your pace. HOWEVER -- Just because you CAN make Hell's Gate just before the closing time, doesn't mean you should attempt the 100 miles... because at that point you've still got 40 miles to go, and it's already getting hot out there. I might strongly suggest the shorter cutoff route... Paul |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Jun 1st, 2012, 12:38pm As this will be my first attempt at anything beyond my work commute, I am now considering the 100 K. I'll see what tomorrows 51 miles feels like. If not this year, one day I will do the 100 mile. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by dd5339 on Jun 1st, 2012, 3:24pm Am tempted to bring the Burley trailer and collect all the stuff people drop or that falls off their bikes. I remember seeing everything from water bottles to spare wheels one year.. Semper Fi |

There is also the unofficial 72ish route. Continue straight instead of turning at Hell's Gate on the 100 mi route. Several miles down the road the shorter routes join this road. We always see the sag trailer on the short off route stretch, and there is one more rest stop as well. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |

Not any more, not with Hell's Gate at Electra now. [/quote] Thanks, Bud. I forgot about that. Looked at Paul's map, then went to the website to look at 2011 maps, which the site states are available, but found nothing. The link for the new 100 miles is no longer active. |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on Jun 1st, 2012, 9:56pm The link to the proposed route (http://www.hh100.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2012-HHH-100-Mile-Proposed-Route.pdf) still works, and from everything I've read, it sounds like that will stand as the new route. All of the shorter routes haven't changed. The only way to shortcut the route much from the new Hell's Gate in Electra would be to just come down US 287 back to Wichita Falls, so I'm guessing that's where they'll direct anyone who doesn't make Hell's Gate before it closes. I haven't tried to figure the mileage that way. |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Jun 2nd, 2012, 6:49am The site says it will be about 82 miles if you are directed to take the shorter route. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by jcsadowski on Jun 2nd, 2012, 5:50pm The map downloaded from the site has the "bail-out" route going down 477 to join the 60 milers |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on Jun 2nd, 2012, 8:54pm Ah yes, the new map that shows the bailout can be seen here (http://www.hh100.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/HHH-OVERALL-RIDE-MAP-2012-with-Bailout.pdf). It joins the 60 milers alright, but going the opposite direction as them. But then it doesn't show were the bailout route goes after they hit 368. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by bentMSrider on Jun 6th, 2012, 7:38am Rooms are generally booked up a year or two in advance I've been told. There are a large number of individuals who will open their homes to HHH participants. Contact Chip Filer or Sandy Munson at the HHH office for more information or to get on the list... 940-322-3223. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Jun 6th, 2012, 10:02am So I think this year I'll do the 100K to start out. Who is carpooling up there? I can drive if I have to, but I can only carry 2, maybe 3 bikes on my standard trunk mount bike rack. PM if you don't want to post publicly. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on Jun 12th, 2012, 10:54pm I received confirmation for my spot on the gym floor at LBC from Michelle Schenk, who appears to be the one handling it this year. She says there are only a few spots left, so anyone who wants one should reserve soon. Email her at michelle@lbcwf.org. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Jun 13th, 2012, 5:41am I got an e-mail from her and sent in my request, but no conformation yet... |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Rawhide on Jun 13th, 2012, 4:53pm I had sent my request to Susan Robertson on 5/29 and hadn't heard a word yet, so your post was very timely for me. Thanks Bud [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Sent my request at 5:37 this morning and attached a copy of my 5/29 email as backup. Michelle responded at 8:51, I'm in! |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by jdviz on Jun 14th, 2012, 2:30pm Wife and I will be going again this year. We got a hotel room early enough to actually get one. See y'all there, but I'll probably be starting in the back with her (since she's on an upright). |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on Jun 15th, 2012, 1:39pm My shoulder surgery has been scheduled for August 10th, just two weeks before HHH. Will I be able to ride? |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Monkeywrangler22 on Jun 15th, 2012, 1:59pm I'd think about cancelling the HHH, Bud. I was in the pillow-sling for 8wks post-op and another 4wks without the pillow. I don't know just how extensive your reconstruciton will be, but even if you can ride 100mi one-handed, the risk of a fall on the repaired shoulder that soon after surgery would not be worth the risk, if it were me. I know it's not the words you wanted to read, but discretion is the better part of valor, and all that. Now, IF you can borrow a trike...then I'd talk to the doc post-op about maybe doing the ride. But I bet you will have only had at best, your initial post-op followup visit, where they will check to make sure the incisions are healing. Do you know yet if you will get arthroscopic, or the full incision surgery? |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by aikigreg on Jun 15th, 2012, 2:12pm Most of you guys may not know or remember this, but Bud was riding two weeks after he had half a lung removed. I can't remember, Bud, was it before or after you'd had the staples removed? However, in this case, I bet MW is right. I expect a fall could undo repairs. I'm sure the doc can give you a specific time table. If he/she allowed it though, I'd captain your tandem and ride with you if we fit and if I got used to the bike well before your surgery. |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on Jun 15th, 2012, 6:00pm In my case, I don't think a fall would undo repairs. The surgeon says the joint needs reshaped and rebuilt, but none of the tendon tears I have need worked on. It's just a matter of degeneration, over use, normal wear, and arthritis that are making everything in the joint not pivot and slide like it's supposed to. For that reason, it's only supposed to be a 4 to 6 week rehab. I know better than to ask the surgeon when I can ride. He'd say six weeks, which is exactly what my lung surgeon said. I'm thinking I'll be at HHH. I might ride a shorter route at an easier pace with more stops, but as long as I feel ok, I'll be there. |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Jun 15th, 2012, 6:14pm Hey you could do the 100K with me. It'll take surgery to slow you to my speed but I'll take it! LOL! |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Opus the Poet on Jul 17th, 2012, 6:23pm Just announced no Hell's Gate this year. http://www.timesrecordnews.com/news/2012/jul/16/route-change-up-in-hottern-hell/ There was no way to make a reasonable return route from the Gate. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Aug 9th, 2012, 9:48am So I just received my e-mail packet for HHH! Is anyone carpooling or do we just try and find a parking space amongst the masses? I have Friday the 24 off and can travel up that day. Any suggestions? I'm staying at the church where Paul and several others are staying. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by jdviz on Aug 9th, 2012, 10:45am Anyone going to the medical seminar that Friday? My wife's a nurse and wants to go, I figure it'll be interesting at least. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by dd5339 on Aug 9th, 2012, 11:26am Jim, I've also got that Friay off. Was planning on heading up there Friday morning and wandering the trade show that afternoon.

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by johnnybent on Aug 9th, 2012, 7:48pm If you are looking for a place....Try the YMCA downtown or the YWCA just on the south side of town. $10 I believe for either one. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by rmillay on Aug 10th, 2012, 3:58pm I've not had trouble finding a space in the acres of parking there. It may not be convenient, but I was riding a bicycle to the start line anyway. I've had more trouble finding my car after the ride. [smiley=chinscratch.gif] |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by recumbron on Aug 18th, 2012, 8:29pm Hey bent-friends, I've done HHH a few times a long time ago, before discovering bent riding. Should be a lot more comfortable. Is there going to be a group from the Metroplex? Bents and Tand's are starting at the bridge. I'm not sure if that's good or not. What ya think? I'd like to go if there are going to be some from here, like Bud. I've got lodging taken care of. |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Aug 18th, 2012, 8:44pm I'm pretty sure there will be a good showing from here on bents. I know of at least 5 or so just on the forum that will be on bents. I'll be the slow pace setter... [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by recumbron on Aug 18th, 2012, 11:35pm What, is that the less than 6 hours pace group? I'm going to find out if my friend-non-bent rider is going before I decide for sure. I guess I better decide by Sunday as on-line regis. closes then. I would really like to get to know other bent riders. Bud is the first one I've had an opportunity to ride with. I can't keep up with him, of course. I'll be looking for events in the Metroplex to ride with the group. Maybe I'll see you at something, if not HHH. |

Come on out - there will be a lot of us that will be there and have not yet admitted it yet - like me. Though I have never ridden with him - I know I can't keep up with Bud either (in miles or pace). I'm going to be riding the 100k on my Corsa at an avg somewhere between a snails pace and 19 mph. I guess I'll find out once it is over but I intend (at least now) to not work too hard. That is subject to change once I see the DF pacelines to chase. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by TonyWard on Aug 19th, 2012, 1:56pm Oh........ everyone that is going, try to wear your RBENT jersey if you have one - it will be very cool to see all those red, white & blue jersey's up at the front. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Bud_Bent on Aug 19th, 2012, 3:23pm Yeah, there will be a good turnout of rbenters, like always. I survived a 75 mile ride yesterday, so I think my shoulder will be up to the 100 miles. DJ and I are heading down at noon, Friday. I have my first shoulder rehab appointment that morning at 9:30, but I'm thinking I should be finished with that and home in time for the noon takeoff. |
|
Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by recumbron on Aug 20th, 2012, 1:08am It's settled, I'm registered, riding 100K. Hope to see lots of you other "rbent'ers" there. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by recumbron on Aug 20th, 2012, 12:53pm Bud, glad you hear your shoulder is better. If you can ride 75 mi with it then you are one tough customer, but we all already knew that! Hope your rehab appt. goes well. Had a lot of rehab therapy myself, mostly on back and neck, hence I'm riding an rbent. Great alternative to sitting on your can getting fat(ter). See you there. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by recumbron on Aug 20th, 2012, 12:57pm Guys, I'm driving my new RVan which has room for a couple more guys and bikes. Don't have any more space for sleeping unless you want to bring a cot or sleep on the ground under my awning. Hope I can get a RV spot with hook-ups would be great. If not, it's still OK. I have one friend with me, a wedgie rider. He just finished RAGBREA (sp?), so he a good rider and a great friend. Be glad to have other riders though. |

If you show up on Friday most all the RV spots but you might be able to squeeze in somewhere. bring extra water hose and if you have a extension cord bring that to. I took a Pop Up camper a couple years ago and barely found me a spot. that was on a friday. Good luck. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by recumbron on Aug 21st, 2012, 1:04pm yea, I called and they say the RV spots are ususally taken by Thursday. I can't go that early so I made reservations 6 mi. down the road at Coyote Ranch RV park. Wasn't free, but not too much. not sure if I can dirve it to the staging area or not. Its 24 ft. long. May be hard to find two spots end to end. Any thoughts on that by anyone? I haven't been there in 20 years. They say the have mapped a back road route from the RV park to the staging area that is a little over 6 mi if I want to ride up there. May do that. Guess I better take my lights for that. I'm open to any other suggestions and comments (well, the friendly kind anyway). [smiley=grin.gif] |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by Rawhide on Aug 21st, 2012, 3:56pm Looking forward to good conversation with Bud riding along up to WF. I'd like to wear the RBENT jersey but may favor my Marine Corps one instead (for the benefit of the Air Force folks, I know they'll love it). ;D |

Actually I think I ride faster into a headwind. Nothing like watching roadies struggle to try and keep up to get you motivated. |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by jcsadowski on Aug 23rd, 2012, 6:30pm I park at the Bridwell Ag Center. Located across the river from HHH Registration and Consumer Show. https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=birdwell+AB+center,+wichata+falls+texas&ie=UTF-8 I usually get there about 6:00 am and there is plenty of parking at that time. I have seen quite a few RVs parked there. Note: this parking is only 4-5 blocks from the HHH start |

Title: Re: HHH 2012 Post by JimFPU on Aug 25th, 2012, 8:39pm Thanks Key! The problem is tail wind turn into headwind sooner or later...in this case they were 25-30 for the last 20 miles or so. |
