I just sent Susan a reservation request.   I look forward to catching up with my RBENT brethren.

Early registration ends Sunday, so if you want to save the 5 bucks, you need to register this weekend. You can register here.

Well you can forget about getting any sleep.  They're allowing the 100 milers etc. to start at 6.

The pace groups will start at 6:00. 100 mile Tandems and recumbents will start at 6:10. They're still starting all the other groups at 7:05. It will make for a nice early finish for we 100 milers, but it's not going to be very light at 6:10.

Does this mean I'll be the only bent starting at 7 since i'm planning to only do the 100k?

You might be the ONLY RIDER at 7 once they open the flood gates.

After leaving at 6:10 for the 100 mile, who says you can't change your mind and do the 100K?  DJ

I noticed yesterday morning that it's pitch dark at 6:00 am. Guess I'll take my better light to HHH this year. I wonder if Lamar is serving breakfast an hour earlier than usual.

I have a spot reserved at the church and am looking forward to riding.  This will be my first HHH.  I was hoping to ride w/ Greg (we both have Carbents) but haven't heard from him in a while.  I'm hoping to finish within 5 hours to beat the heat but we'll see how it goes.  I look forward to meeting other recumbent riders.  Do you all have a corner of the church marked off for bents?

Got my spot reserved, too.

I notice the start for the pro racers has been changed from 7:00 am to 12:30 pm this year. Guess they got tired of those pesky recumbent riders catching up with the pack.

On another site, they are reporting the HHH folks will not allow anyone to start at 0600 unless they have a front light on their bike.

Thanks.  I do plan to use a taillight and headlight to ride from the church.  I believe it is required for cycling pre-dawn.  It makes sense they would apply that to the ride as well.  
 
From the HH100 site:
 Again, all 100 mile riders that choose to take advantage of the early start option need to remember that Texas Law requires lights on your bicycle prior to sunrise.

That would make sense. I received my paperwork from HHH and it shows the official 100 mile tandem and recumbent start time as 6:10.

It's definitely pitch black at 6AM...  given the number of times we've ridden over to the Start from the Lamar!!!!    Official sunrise itself isn't till 7:04...  Good question about breakfast at the Lamar...  I'll send Susan an email.

YES, the Lamar will be serving breakfast earlier, to accomodate those doing the 6AM start... basically, that means the lights will be coming on around 4AM instead of 5...    gawd.....

This sucks for the people not starting at 6!  However at least I don't have to bring an alarm.
