What, no “HHH who’s in” thread yet? Last year we were buzzing for a couple weeks before registration. Does this mean BFNIC belts are getting tightened?

Registration opens Thursday 1/15 at 6:30pm CT on active.com.

I am in. Anyone else?

BTW I’m also looking at the Quadrupedal Century on 5/3, which is run by Stew Schilling who puts on the Dairyland Dare. Would be good practice for the HHH and a good excuse to get a jump on training for the season.

Geez....that came quick. After swinging for the Team fee on USAC, my USAC and ABR renewals, SRAM group buy, etc....I might be pretty strapped. I hate to say that I might not do this one....but....

I'll have to see.....keep this thread alive or I will forget to register if I decide to do it....

Ha, you won't catch me voluntarily doing a century in that landscape. But, my company "may" do the HHH as support. I seem to remember us doing it last year. So I may see you there.

Have fun registering!

I'm in (volunteered last year, so guaranteed spot this year), if the schedule and checkbook allow. June's going to be crowded.

And for a nice warm up, the tentative date of the 2nd Annual Double or Nothing Metric is Saturday May 30th. Hmmm... should I make people sign up on Active.com for that one?

nietsmas

at least make a new thread...i'm already excited for it

I'll probably be up for riding the HHH route leading up to the event, but I've decided I don't need to pay to ride it with 2,000 of my closest cycling buddies. I do think I'll do the quadrupedal century and also the 1st leg of the double-or-nothing, assuming it falls in Cheeslandia again this year.

SmokinMiles

Wow....just seeing the Double or Nothing metric brightens my evening. Now.....If I can just get out of this bed and actually get some training going. I may need an early start on the 30th to finish by dark!

I'll be there !

People, people, this is an HHH thread.

On topic!

Jose Perez

I'm in. Always a good (but damn hard) time and fits nicely into my summer plans.

sekaijin

I started this HHH thread but hey - I like the hijack. Why did I miss the Double or Nothing last year? I will have to try and get free.

aham23

perfect.

and i am in for the HHH madness. later.

Psimet2001 

Hmmmm....race schedule is still coming together but i think that weekend is open. I don't know though. Last year I kind of told myself that was going to be the last time I did that. Might be willing jsut to go up there and ride......hmmm....

aham23

^^^^ last time you did what? having fun drinking and eating the night before then having a blast suffering on your bike with the rest of the BFNIC gang??

side note; here is the jersey.



later.

Psimet2001 

Hmm....trying to remember what I did for the HHH last year.....Oh yeah...I did like a century and it ended up raining on me at the end. That was fun. It was the DLD that I was unsure about. I don't know. I'll have to see how it fits into the schedule.

....yes I've turned into that guy - but there's nothing that says I have to be at every event.....or at lest that's what I'm telling myself this year.

Psimet2001 

I don't think I'm doing this. Gotta draw the line somewhere and the expenses associated with this are just too high. Between the registration, transport up there, hotel, beer - I mean "food", jersey, etc...that will pay for about 2 months of racing around here.

Maybe Dairyland....which is on if you got the e-mail.

CastIron

I'm gonna give it another whirl. Shoot for the long course this time. Anyone camped up there? I'm selling it to the missus as a camping trip (her thing).

Psimet2001 

Yeah, just checked to confirm that this is right in the middle of the new Midwest Cycling Series - the "new answer to the Superweek question". I'm definitely out now.

Severian

That's ok... I give you permission to go be a badass somewhere else.

Psimet2001 

Hmmmm can't fullfill that one. How about permission to go be pathetic pack fodder?

sekaijin

I can't find the HHH when I search events on active.com. Shouldn't it be there with a message that registration opens later today?

It seems like HHH registration is such a hassle every year ... and it fills up faster every year ... I sometimes wonder if the difficulty of regsitering is a deliberate marketing ploy. The velvet rope phenomenon - if you're "exclusive" enough to turn people away, it makes even more people want to get in.

Anyway I'm guessing that this year may break the streak for the HHH, given the economy and the way these events have multiplied.

Thank you. (me = duh )

i never looked at the date for this year and just assumed it would be that second weekend in June. they moved it back a weekend to 6/20. i am out. i have some plans with some guys to ride some bikes in some mountains around that time. at least i am out for cycling related reasons. later.

Jose Perez

I'm in. Registration was 100% painless. I logged into Active.com at 6:28 and breezed right through.

MrWenzel

Wow that was easy. Not like last year.
