Hotter'N Hell....Literally

Drew did it...and Jackson and I are so proud of him!!

Since I moved to TX in 2000 I have heard about this Hotter'N Hell thing from Drew. It all sounded crazy to me....cycling a 100 mile course during the middle of August, which is generally the hottest time of the summer. Well, as a last minute entry, Drew and his friend from work, Otto, decided that they were going to attempt the 100 mile race. Mind you, you have to reach "Hell's Gate" or the 60 mile mark by 12: 30 (they moved it up to noon this year because of the temps) or you can't complete the full 100m!! I believe the race started at 7:30 and Drew finished right around 3pm. There were trucks with trailer beds behind them driving up and down the course picking up those who couldn't handle the heat. Craziness!!!

Congrats to Drew who made the full 100 miles, and did it all on a 95 degree TX day!!
