Hotter'n Hell 100

I'm off to Wichita Falls, Texas at the close of business today to compete in the Hotter'n Hell Hundred mile bike race. The race has become the largest endurance bicycle race in the country.

The race will begin at 7:00 tomorrow, where it was already 90 degrees two years ago on its way to a 108 degree inferno. The forecast calls for a high of 95 tomorrow, which will be downright pleasant in comparison. I'm actually staying in Gainesville, Texas tonight, which is on Hwy. 82 just 85 miles east of the starting line.
