Aug 24, 2003 7:37 AM | | Checkpoint #3 (skipped 1&2) 30 miles into the ride time to re-load my water bottles and eat a bit. This is Shirley and I can't remember the guys name (sorry) We were maintaining about a 23mph pace up to this point. |

Aug 24, 2003 7:55 AM | | After the 60 mile CP, the course turned into a headwind. From about mile 70 to mile 85 were the toughest for me. This is me @ the 82 mile CP. I was sure happy to see those tents! |

Aug 24, 2003 8:06 AM | | Finally finished! This is Jim from Dallas. He pulled me along at different points through the ride. We crossed the line together after about 6 1/2 hrs (5 1/2 actually on the bike). It was a great event and everyone was really cool. The volunteers at the checkpoints were great and I can't thank them enough. Keep the bananas and the blue poweraid flowing! |

| 99 was the official high, 106 on the road | Tig
Aug 26, 2003 6:09 PM | | A customer came in and recorded 106 for a few hours on his bike computer's thermometer. North Texas has less humidity than the coast, but higher temperatures. Either way, I don't do centuries between June and August in Texas!
Nice ride report, by the way. I've heard many comments over the years about the excellent rest stops at the HTH. |

| How many vertical feet? ...nm | TNRyder
Aug 26, 2003 7:04 PM | | Not many, It's pretty flat in this place! Maybe 500 ft for the whole ride and never anything very long! Good terrain for ones first 100. |
