Here is a quick update the Hotter ‘n Hell folks sent out today!
Route Changes:We have a completely new route for the 100 mile Ride that will finish through Sheppard Air Force Base and some minor changes to the 100k & 50 mile routes. Route maps are posted on the website: www.hh100.org .
Hell’s Gate: After reviewing the new 100-mile route for the August 25, 2012 Hotter’N Hell, members of the HHH steering committee have decided Hell’s Gate is not a workable option on the new route. As a result, riders choosing to ride 100 miles will not have a Hell’s Gate (62 miles from the start) to reach this year by 1:30 p.m. or be diverted to a bailout route. Because there is no safety valve, it is key this year that cyclists train for the distance they want to ride and then ride the route for which they trained.
Waivers: This year the waivers will be emailed to the email address supplied with your registration beginning Monday, August 13, 2012. The mailing will also include:
- Start/Finish Instruction & Information sheet
- Updated weekend schedule
- Start Line/Finish Line Village Map
