HHH time already? (Read 12479 times)

johnnybent Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 1032	HHH time already? May 8^th, 2011, 9:15pm I got my HHH paper in the mail this week...pg. 12...a photo of three recumbent riders going throught Sheppard. I did the hundred for some dumb reason last year but really missed the cadets as they cheered. I'll go for the sixty this year because Sheppard has a rest stop and the cadets...if you've ever been throught it, you know the feeling.

Reply #2 - May 8^th, 2011, 11:20pm And all this time I thought it was just that I was unable to make Hell's Gate in time before they shut it off....now I believe it was a desire to ride through Shepard and see them line the roadway and cheer the riders on. It is a moving and proud time when you ride down that roadway and here them cheer you on....

Aw, c'mon Shelly. What could be more romantic for an anniversary than a trip to beautiful Wichita Falls? Well, ok. I guess there might be a FEW more romantic places... Grin

And you could spend your anniversary sleeping in separate sections of the Lamar Babtist Church, on an air mattress.... besides, they have an IHOP nearby!!! Smiley

give it a few years - then he'll be glad for you to go so he doesn't have to listed to you talk about riding your bike or how you wish you were riding your bike

Just speaking from experience - though I'm not your average person either. It is amazing my wife actually puts up with me.

Did anyone notice that they're giving disposable timing chips to everyone at HHH this year? They're moving the start back one block so that everyone (who doesn't cheat the start) will go under the timing truss at the start inflatable and get their time tracked. There will be timing trusses at various spots on the course, including Hell's Gate, so you can see your time to each one.

It will make it nice for those further back who get delayed. Your time won't start until you pass under the start inflatable, so even those who sit and wait for a while can get an accurate time of their ride. You just put the timing chip on your helmet and as long as you pass under that start inflatable, you'll get timed. They say they'll end up with more ride stats than has ever happened for a ride that size. Pretty cool.
