OK, I will show up Saturday morning. I might just pick up my packet and ride 15-20 miles. Today was the first time in over a week that I rode and my legs were shaking from being sick. If there is a tail wind, I might go 50 miles. I guess I'll see when I get there.

I have not ridden much either but ya don't have to bust yer butt out there. Easy 15 avg. and use the rest stops. I plan on the 65 for the base.

Nice to finally meet up with Bud. Also met Gary, Bill, and Paul and Reever were there. I met so many people I can't remember all the names.
I was trying to do the 50 mile route, but took the 25 turn off. Got to the interstate and sign was missing. Went a little over 2 miles turn around and ran into an upright rider. He thought the route was straight ahead. I rode about a 1/2 mile with him and turned around. Just as I was coming up to the right turn, they were putting the sign back up. I ended up with 30 miles. I was very weak and shaky!  
 
I was interviewed by the local TV station, radio station, and newspaper. They all called my corovelo the Road Runner bike! Ha ha. After crossing the finish line a reporter for a Dallas/Ft Worth TV station took a picture and asked for my name.  
 
It was a fun first HHH, except for not feeling 100%. I'll be back next year. It was fun and a well run event. I was talking so much and answering questions I forgot to take any pictures and turn my GoPro on! Maybe Paul got some decent pictures. I'll make it up the night before next year. Getting up at 2 am and getting ready isn't fun at all.  
 
See everyone there next year!
 
Now I know why my mouth was hurting and my stomach was upset yesterday. I have a big ole abscessed tooth! Finally had to take a pain pill. Reason, popcorn!
