Its all about $ per mile .. if you don't ride all the miles you don't get your monies worth Grin

I was out riding about a week ago and two guys on road bikes stopped me to talk about my ride. I told them I was doing my 1st ever HHH. They both looked at each other and laughed. I asked what was so funny. They drive about 25-30 miles ahead and start riding. I said I thought that was cheating and they just kept on laughing. If you have to cheat, why bother? One said that they paid their money. Then start with everyone else and just ride the 70 mile ride. Nope, we get to finish in the middle of the pack this way and brag about it. I don't understand it myself. I would rather finish last than cheat.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Plus, the only person you are cheating is yourself.

Hey all you HHH participants!! We will again be hosting our annual recumbent rider spaghetti dinner on Friday night, 5:30-8:00 PM, prior to the big ride. All you need to bring is a smile and an appetite. We will furnish iced tea and water, but feel free to bring any other beverages you want (including adult beverages, if desired).
Address: 300 E Washington Ave, Iowa Park TX -- come around to the back, as that is where we all will be!!

Hope to see you there!! Please let us know if you plan to come so we will have a head count for food prep!

Thanks Gary & Gay Bradford

I'm still toying with the idea of doing it on the SprintX - I haven't, yet. My last time up on the Ghost Xstream (2015?) I hung with a fast group and had a ~24mph average at Hell's Gate -- then leg cramps hit with a vengeance, and I limped the rest of the way in. Haven't really been doing much over 35 miles all summer, so maybe I'll take the cutoff instead of the 100...

If I go up, I'll try to stay at 1st Xtian church.... and try to make it to the Bradford's!

I know the feeling Bud. I have mine in my little bag I carry all my important stuff in. I'll leave the bag on the van seat because if I put it anywhere else, I would not remember where I put it!

See everyone in 8 days.

I have a bad sinus/lung infection again. Doctor told me to stay out of the swimming pool as chlorine is bad for asthma.

I guess I've done all the training I can do for the HHH. I'll be running on reserves on Saturday. It's always a big crapshoot how well I'll do anyway. Sometimes I really think I'm ready and then feel like hammered excrement on the day of the race. A hundred miler is something like a running marathon in that a super fit marathoner can be crippled by a blister on his little toe. Good luck to everybody who shows up and at least tries. May the wind always be at your back and may you always find groups to draft off of going really fast!!!

Adults should have fun so kids will want to grow up!

For every mile of road there's two miles of ditch.

I'd rather be sorry for something I did than for something I didn't do.

I've got a paid for room at the Marriot Courtyard if anyone wants it .. I've posted it to facebook trying to recover some of the cost but I'd nearly give it away to an rbenter for the price of picking up my packet and jersey I ordered at the start line and handing it back to me at one of the rbent rides.. 2 nights 1 king + sofabed

text me at 972-900-2902 as I'm not online much right now dealing with the family issues
