Headed down for the Bike Through the Forest and the Hills in Coldspring, Texas for tomorrow's ride starting at 0800.  Wish me strong tail winds both directions. Smiley

Rode the ride today and met Mark for the first time.  Saw him on his way back filming,  Should be some great video.  Saw 4 recumbents on the ride.  
 
The weather was GREAT and NO WIND, but there were a TON of hills.  I was wore out after 33 miles.
 
I think I might come back next year as well.

That was an excellent ride although I didn't think the hills were bad at all except for the last one entering Coldspring. I was screaming down the south routes. Apparently that was the warmest ride they've run it and one guy told me last year it was in the 30's with a strong north wind.  
 
One of the ride marshals is a Bacchetta Carbon Aero rider over in Richmond
