My money is paid- for the Hotter Than Hell 100!

[Tri Girl]

I live in OK, and plan on doing that ride next year (I'm doing the Redman full iron this year, so can't quite fit HHH in ).
You'll have a great time! I've heard so many great/crazy things about that ride. I've heard it's a bit of madness at the start b/c there's 10,000 riders and you have nowhere to move...
I know a group that's going down and camping out the night before (tradition w/many people).
Sounds like a great race!!! You'll certainly be able to do it! Rumor has it there's beer near the end.... what better motivation than that?
Have fun, and be sure to post all about it when you get back!

Ladies, I have never heard of HHH. Could you send me a link or some info? I hope that living in AZ would help me survive this ride.

It's in Texas though. You willing to travel for it? If so... let me know... me can meet up... and I might have a floor that you can sleep on!

Thanks a lot! I will think about it. I just don't do any off road biking. That's too bad. But it certainly sounds like fun.

Lenusik- I don't think the HHH is an off road race?? I'd like to do it, but that would be one LONG drive!!
I'm certainly acclimated tho- the other night it was 111 when I stepped out for my ride! I swore my tires were going to explode! They smelled like burning rubber when I pulled back into the house after an hour on the boiling pavement.

Yeah, this temperature is killing. it is goign to be 117 today. I rode last morning at 5:30 and it was already 95! I am planning to ride tomorrow morning for a while and hope to survive.

On the HHH site is says that there is a 10 mile Off road challenge.

It's all road biking... as far as I know.

This is what I read on the website. Am I understanding it incorrectly?
"Off Road: HHH weekend includes a 10 mile Off Road route. The start is adjacent to the 100 mile start. The trail will be open all day but will be swept for survivors at 6 PM on Friday and 1 PM on Saturday. The trail is single track with quick short climbs and drops. The route is fun but riders are reminded that these nature trails are on natural surfaces surrounded by trees, water, wild animals, pointy objects and poison ivy. Off-roading requires skill and caution on the part of the rider."

AH... well... I guess I missed that...cause I would never do it.

That's cool though, for the people who like to mountain bike!
