I really like this course, it is very recumbent friendly, with lots of nice rolling hills.  I had some great company yesterday with our TTTT team (now known as the Cole Train), Ray (on his Aero), Dennis Cook, and Jeremy Davis.  Everybody rode strongly, but the heat was brutal and we took some pretty long recuperations at controls to get over the hot effort to get there.  I bonked a bit near the end, I have trouble making myself take in enough calories when I get hot.  Fortunately we stopped for a final breather about 7 miles from the finish, and a Dr. Pepper and a PayDay helped get me in.  Ray was awesome on his Aero, knee and heat issues seem to be a thing of the past and I know he's feeling good about that.  I got a little extra bonus miles riding back to the start with Dennis after he left his brevet card, so a total of 130.3 miles in an overall time of 11:00 hours, but only 8:26 on bike time.  Looking forward to the shorter but more intense effort at the Hill Country TT this next weekend.  Everybody have a nice and safe week!
 
Take Care,
Nelson.

I'm anticipating doing the same ride on Sept 1...
