Something Original, Something New

Check this out, we have an original Crank riding with the newest member. Albert (Al) Florentino couldn't have had a better buy to show him the ropes than Tim Mikus.

Afterwards Jimbo invited e everybody to his newly refurbished house for a cold beer.

If you have to pass a Saturday morning with somebody, these guys are a great choice.

Post HHH Recovery Ride

We had a fantastic post HHH "Recovery" ride today. 60 miles to Roanoke and back. We stopped to visit a historical marker where Bonnie and Clyde gunned down two state troopers. We finished the ride on the almost complete, unopened section of Parkway - breaking the law

HHH 2019 Results

Ladies and Gentlemen....... The most exciting day of the year has finally arrived. No, it's not Christmas and it's not your birthday again. It is time to see the official results of HHH 2019. But before we do, let's take a look at a few photos...

Now........It's time for the moment you have all been waiting for....... The times

Just for the record, Helen Allen rode the 75 mile ride. Al Thibodaux rode the 100M but his chip didn't read properly.  Tom Hudon, Dave Buchard, and Kit Vinson also attended the event but we rode the 50 mile ride together. I have made the decision to only track the 100M and 100K on this blog.

The two newest Cranks that we have on the board are Bill Mugan and Sabir Kader. Very respectable times for you guys. Al Thibodaux said that his time was 5 hours and change. That is a VERY respectable time indeed. As good as all those times are I suggest to you that the dude that took 9:56:42 is tougher than all of your combined. Whoever can take that kind of abuse int eh saddle must be tough.

David and bill made fantastic time on the ride at 4:07 and 4:08 for 100K. They would have beat their 2017 times had they not been inclined to stay and visit with us at the last break station. But. it's not about the time, it's about the experience, and I saw those two having A BLAST!!!

Congratulations to everybody who participated. It was a GREAT day with overcast ALL DAY. I am not sure we could have ordered a better day for a long ride. The only thing better than the weather was the company of great friends, and of course, Walt's time.

WALLY, DID YOU THINK THAT I WAS GOING TO FORGET YOUR AWESOME TIME OF 5:17:26 FOR THE 100M - HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy was on fire.

We were able to acquire some footage from the local TV station of the start of the race. When you view the recording at super slow speed, you can actually see Wally on his bike

Special shout-out to Tom and Dave who came in from out-of-state to ride HHH. It was a treat to ride with the flying frenchmen once again.
