Who all is doing HHH this year?
Jul 22nd, 2018, 7:37am
 
I have been thinking seriously about trying this ride. If I do, it will be either the 50 miler or 100k for me. Maybe if the weather is nice I'll do the century. So, who all will be doing HHH?

Well, For one thing the weather doesn't get nice up there. It's either hot and windy or really hot and windy. I've done the thing for 25 straight years and took the last two off.  I'm going back this year.

I'm planning on this being my 12th straight year of doing the 100 mile route. I'll be staying at the First Christian Church again.

Family obligation will put me in Grafton, Illinois, so I'll be riding along the Mississippi that Saturday thinking of how I'm missing the heat, wind and boulder seal!

I have ridden along the MS River several times through Grafton. It should be nice there. Are you taking the Sam Vadalabene Great River Rd. Bike Trail?

I’m still on the fence, need to get a couple longer rides in if I’m really gonna do this. I’ve never ridden it and would be shooting for a sub 5 hour ride if I go.

I didn't know what it was called, but yes that is it.  Have ridden it before a couple of years ago.  If I have time I'd like to roll on past Alton a ways.

If you get the chance, you have to ride across the old Chain of Rocks bridge. No motor vehicles allowed. You can turn south and ride the Riverfront Trail all the way to the Arch. Turn west and the Katy Trail is 240 miles long from the MS River to Clinton, MO. Have fun and be safe!

Come on and go Joe. I too was going to shoot for a sub 5 hours, but ?i have had a bad virus for about 9 days. My body is weak, but I might get back in good enough shape to still try.
