These aren't the best in the world and do not show any carnage but they are from Saturday's HHH. We rode 25 mi. on our Trail-A-Bike setup (this is our 2nd year together). We finished in just under 3 hours. We hit both reststops along our route and a couple of other stops to visit grandparents and make a phone call along the way. It's very possible we mingled with some of the 50mi-100K BF riders along the way. It was warm and humid and was getting warmer after we finished around 10:00. The water hose near the finish was a welcomed sight. My son played in it for about half an hour after we finished. The last couple of years have been relatively mild so riders may have become a little complacent about the wicked mixture of heat/humidity/unforgiving sun/and blast furnace headwind the last few miles. I'll try and obtain figures on the casualties (I live here). Now the few and talentless pics.
