Hotter-N-Hell 100 Texas

Hotter-N-Hell 100 Bike Ride

Robert putting his bike together- and us together in Fort Worth
Robert and I at Wichita Falls and his niece Julie who hosted us for the weekend. Robert at
the registration area.

Up at 3am and driving by 4 to get to Wichita Falls. The Pit crew getting Robert ready for the 100 miles. Robert's sister Sandi also flew in to see the ride.

It's about 6:45 the streets are packed already and bikers continue to flow out of everywhere.
The starting line is visible but it takes a while to even move in this crowd. This last picture is looking back down the street. It is packed for about 10 blocks.

The innvocation, pledge and then the fly over-----REMARKABLE!!!!!!The cannon goes off and it is a SLOW start. Finally he is off.



At the FINISH----- 5hours-25mins. He's an official scorcher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9th in his age group. What a MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His stats were amazing.
