Rode my third Hotter 'n Hell, and had a pretty good time... The weather was great, in fact it was 64 degrees on the start line Saturday morning, and it only got up to around 92 a little after noon. Over 14,200 riders, so it was the biggest HHH to date by more than 2000 folks. The wind made up a bit for the temperature differential, though... the only place along the course where you didn't have a head or cross wind (~12 mph with a few gusts) was on the initial run to Iowa Park, and on the last little stretch from Dean to the beer stop at Mile 98. Lots of crashes, though... Don't think there were many, if any serious injuries, but there were at least three times the whole pack came to a stop like a freeway traffic jam, and we passed lots of ambulances running around. I made the loop in just a hair over 6 hours; the only disappointment being that when I got to the finish line the sponsor had changed, and all they had was Michelob in plastic bottles
