Hi All!
This is my first post - I've been 'lurking' for a few weeks - Sure lovin' all the advice and commraderie with everyone here. :)
I have searched the forums and have not seen anyone post about the upcoming HHH in Witchita Falls, TX. www.hh100.org (http://) I am looking to do the 100K ride. Are there any of you out there that are planning to do this ride? I expect I will avg. about 15mph - so not planning on blowing it out and going real fast. There are alot of rolling hills, so the avg might not even be that fast. I did this ride in 2002 and was very surprised to find out how many hills there actually were way out in the boonies in TX. I thought TX was pretty much flat! Evidently...if its not a mountain...it's considered 'flat'. I'm from Louisiana, so I see my share of rolling hills, but for the most part we have flats here. My hubby is riding the 100 miler so we will part at the 25mi mark where the two routes split. He had someone contact him from the HHH forum about 2 months ago and we are going to meet up with him the night before and get introductions out of the way and plan on a meeting spot for the next morning. The thought of trudging thru the 100+ degree heat (if we are lucky it'll be only 100! it was 105 in '02) by myself for the remainder of the 62 or so miles is not a very pleasant thought. Anyone interested in meeting up?
