Jim I think your prayers are being answered.  The current fotecast is for a high of 88 degrees!!  
 
They might have to rename the ride if it holds.

What weather you checking?  I see high of 97 w/ 30% chance of rain and 18 mph headwind for the last 1/2 of the ride.

Ah, so with 18 MPH air conditioning, I should really see the aerodynamic affects of the Aerotrunk!

Actually I think I ride faster into a headwind. Nothing like watching roadies struggle to try and keep up to get you motivated.

I park at the Bridwell Ag Center. Located across the river from HHH Registration and Consumer Show.  
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=birdwell+AB+center,+wichata+falls+texas &ie=UTF-8
I usually get there about 6:00 am and there is plenty of parking at that time.  
I have seen quite a few RVs parked there.
 
Note: this parking is only 4-5 blocks from the HHH start

Riders of the HHH,
Have a great flight!  I'll be praying for a safe, and fun passage.  
 
Tailwinds to you all!

Thanks Key!  The problem is tail wind turn into headwind sooner or later...in this case they were 25-30 for the last 20 miles or so.
