Hey, I know!

Let's drive out to The Middle of Nowhere, TX, wake up at 5am, and go for a 100 mile bike-ride in the dead of summer. Ok!

Actually, it was a lot of fun. It's called the "Hotter N' Hell Hundred." The 100 miles took us a little over 8 hours. The "race" started at 7:09am and you had to make it to 60 miles before 12:30pm. Otherwise this thing called "Hell's Gate" closes and you're escorted to the loser's circle. We, fortunately, made it with about 45 minutes to spare.

A bunch of quality experiences were had, including, but not limited to the following: a stay at a Motel 6 (the only hotel that wasn't booked in this rural town), over 10,000 bikers in a town with a population of 10,000, 3 solid meals at IHOP, and some killer sunburn lines.
