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.

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?

I just received confirmation I've got a spot reserved in the gym. DJ

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.

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.

Reply #42 - Aug 20^th, 2011, 10:33pm 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.

Reply #43 - Aug 22^nd, 2011, 6:54pm 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.
