Pace Group
The Hotter’N Hell Hundred Pace Group is the only one of it’s kind – a pace group dedicated to breaking 5 hours for the 100 mile Endurance Ride.

Ever wondered what it’s like to be Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France peloton? This is your opportunity to experience the royal treatment of an Armstrong, Schleck, or Evans!

Join us for our third year as we ride a controlled pace to help you break the coveted 5-hour mark. To help you in your quest, you will have a premier starting spot, support motor cycles, and a team of experienced coaches and elite racers leading the way – your own personal domestiques!

Pace Group participants will receive a special edition jersey and professional level support throughout the ride. Training Plans, Training Events, and a Pre-Ride Seminar are included, and you’ll receive special discounts from our partners.

Please note that this is not a “no drop” ride. We will coach, we will cajole and coerce, but ultimately it will be your responsibility to keep up.

School’s in for the Flies
By Ken        Texas Racing Life
When riding to work, I generally feel safe and am not bothered by cars wizzing around me.  This changes in mid-August when the streets of Houston, like many American towns, are infested with broods of soccer mom’s in Chevy Tahoes speeding their offspring to school while doing their make-up.  They find it incredibly annoying that I use the bike lane, and their lack of planning and parenting skills should justify…
