Hotter than Hell Hundred
I watched part of the HHH yesterday in Iowa Park. Interesting to see the various bikes and levels of riders. The weather was pretty nice compared to some years. I don't know how many participated this year, but I watched for 2 hrs and they were still coming in large grouos when I left. I hope to do it next year, too much to do with a new house this year...

I had a couple of friends do it this year. When I saw the lower than usual temperature, I wished I had gone. I was surprised at how flat the ride is. Only 1,800 of elevation change. That's my kind of riding!

There's a good video and thread about it https://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=147746]here.[/url]
It does look like fun. I might try to do some day, but it's along days drive (14 hrs) there and back.

A couple of friends have ridden all the way from the DFW area to Wichita Falls, then rode the HNH, then rode back home. Their only concession to sanity was to do the commute part at night. Hardcore.

I rode the HH100 from 1990 - 1994 on my hardtail MTB, coming down with a small group from Ft. Sill. Good times. I think only one year it was below 100deg.
