I just got confirmed with a spot in the gym.  Looks like RBENTR's are taking it over.  DJ

Speaking of cheap, what about the guy who just drives up in the morning?

Well, that person will miss out on plowing into a huge plate of food on a collapsing paper plate  Smiley and sleep in a room with a door that slams shut every time a guy goes to the head.  Smiley  Get to meet your temp. family that have more in common with you than your own brother and or sisters.
 
My health issues are finally gone and have stepped up my weekly riding to 75+ miles again at last. Seems to me that the heat is a bit more intense early on than last year. The first 99F day I rode with Eddie in RLP and because I didn't bring enough water with me I almost boinked.  Smiley  So I vowed to not let that happen again if I could avoid it. Extra ice water and paper towels to cool down with are with me for the remainder of the summer.  
 
My Cycle Genius has gone through a refurbishing as well, New Marathons fore and aft and replacement SRAM 3.0 shifters to replace the worn out originals. I even spray painted the shells on my Wellago SPDs to a close matching Red. Doen't improve them but look pretty cool.  
 
I want to be ready to enjoy the 100K regardless of the temps and just hope nothing unexpected happens to waylay my plans.  
 
I wonder if Flying Lazyboy will get to test a new RANS over the 100 mile course? It sure would be a good proving ground.

The reason he will be driving up in the morning might be because he will be a little short on cash after taking delivery of a CA 2.0.  Smiley

I think anyone with something like a CA 2.0 should ride it up the night before, sleep on the floor next to it at the church and then ride home after the 100 miler. Isn't that what CA 2.0s are for  Smiley

I used to know a guy who did that every year - He is dead now.

( http://www.mapmyride.com/view_route?r=783124758479956513 ) Mark Mark over at LoneStar has a fun looking practice route from Arlington to Ft.Worth and back that is just shy of a 100K if anyone is interested. I may tackle it just for the heck of it.  Smiley

I wonder if Wichita Falls has immunized the HHH roads against the boulderseal epidemic.

Hwy 471, where they hold the Texas State Time Trials (the last two weeks) is beautifully paved over the exact length of the time trial route and no further. I highly suspect whomever runs the time trials there had a large hand in making sure that part of 471 was repaved properly (with a decent shoulder and markings for cyclists) just for that reason. Might be worth having the TTTT admin contact them to find out how they did it, if that is the case.

Well.. I'll be working on my little 8 rose garden for HHH. Hopefully it won't be too hot but it should be good.
I was trying to convince my wife that we could put a hurricane like sculpture of some kind in the middle but so far that is a no go. I mean people have wagon wheels and one guy down the street has some really really old john deer tractor that he puts a scarecrow in october and santa on in december so I'm just trying to fit in really Smiley

I'm planning to do the 100 again, and will try to convince Lynn to do it as well, since she has that fast Corsa these days...   Wink
 
I'll be making my annual pilgrimage to the Mile 98 Outlaw Beer Stop, arriving somewhere around 12:30...   Smiley Smiley
