Hotter ‘N Hell 2010

Date: Saturday – August 28, 2010Hotter N Hell 2010

Time: 7:00 AM

Event: Hotter ‘N Hell 100

Location: Wichita Falls, TX

Entry Fees: Family rate $25 if postmarked, 35$ after

Routes: 10k , 100k, 25, 50 and 100 Miles

Route Maps and Elevation:

History: The Hotter’N Hell Hundred celebrated its 28th Annual event in 2009. The 28th Annual HHH was a huge success. Larger numbers of riders and racers along with our largest Consumer Show topped the weekend along with the largest finish line village in history of the HHH. The Hotter’N Hell Hundred grew out of efforts to find a special way for Wichita Falls to celebrate its centennial in 1982.

Roby Christie of the Wichita Falls Bicycle Club proposed a bicycle ride – 100 miles in hundred-degree heat to celebrate 100 years.  The original HHH committee promoted the idea as a unique and fitting event to honor the spirit of Texoma and the people that first settled the area.  A consulting company from New York City proposed a rocking chair marathon.  After lengthy discussion the Centennial Committee agreed with the HHH committee that early settlers were not rocking chair people.  Gritty people capable of riding 100 miles in Texoma heat were a more fitting symbol of the tenacity of early settlers.  Mark and Jo Alice Davis, now of Weatherford Texas, coined the name, Hotter’N Hell Hundred.  The rest is Hotter’N Hell History.

Some of the original committee members have moved but Roby and many others remain involved in planning and implementing the event in each of its now 28 years.  The committee started with 7 people and is now in excess of 90.
