What are everyone's plans/goals/expectations for HHH this year?

I'm going down Friday with DJ. I always enjoy the bike show, though I never buy much. I'm doing the 100 mile ride again this year. It seems pretty certain that I'll be slower than usual. I'm going to try my best to get myself around the course in less than 6 hours.

Over 70 percent of my mileage this year has been 12 mile rides. It's become obvious that that's not the way to train for long rides. Last month at Goatneck was the slowest I've ever ridden that course. But if I can get myself around the HHH course in 6 hours, that will still get me in around noon, well before the worst heat of the day.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Well I will be there right with ya....until I get my new Mushia I will be on my trike, so you will probaly cross the finish line before me.......I was thinking about tieing a rope around Tony and have him pull/drag me for a while so I could post a great time but I figured Tony would not like it.

ha ha .......I was feeling really good before my vacation last week. Rode just one day since then and felt awful sluggish. Hope that it is just a product of sitting in the car too much. I had been feeling aweful good before then so we will see. I'm headed up around 2pm Friday afternoon to spend the night at my wife's grandmother's house in WF. It is great having family there and always having a place to stay - not to mention homecooked meals before and after the ride. okay - enough bragging Smiley

I'm going to do the 100k starting at the later start time. Hope there are still some bent's around at the start line when I'm there. I'd like to beat the 16.9 avg I had at the Mesquite Rodeo but I guess we will see how I do with the heat. Not having cold water to drink has really been slowing me down - I hope they are going to have lots of ice!!!!

I'm sorta with you on this although I've been getting decent rides in, last year I finished the HHH with a 22 average but I doubt I can do that this year, still can't tell what my endurance is going to be like.

I've just about been the only bent in one of these rides so I'm excited to meet other riders. I've got a goal of finishing a 5 hr century... hoping it could be HHH. Looks like most of the climbing is in the first 30 miles and the rest is flat/rolling hills. Only worry is how I'll handle chipseal roads. I literally rattle so bad I can't see unless I lift my back forward off the seat.

I've historically averaged 20mph bike speed to the Beer Stop, with stops at 30, 50, 75, and sometimes 90 when it's really hot, so I should be at the beer stop within 6 hours after whatever start time winds up happening... assuming I do the 100 again. Been having more shoe discomfort issues with irritated heels from the top back of the shoe rubbing, so may need to cut off at the Gate.
