Dennis DeAtley, a 55-year-old medical dosimetrist and radiation therapist, said he will ride in his second Hotter’N Hell Hundred this year to prove that not only has he survived cancer, but he is also living life to its fullest. “I really enjoyed the Hotter’N Hell Hundred last year so that’s why it’s even more important for me this year. I’m not just riding just for myself this year, but for all those others like me who have been hit with this disease,” DeAtley said.
Texas Festival Frolic Bike Tour – Seguin, TX
Beginning and ending in Seguin at the Guadalupe County Fair Grounds, the Hill Country Bicycle Club-sponsored “Texas Festival Frolic� Bike Tour navigates through small town Texas this fall, September 27 through October 6th.
This self-led, 10-day tour visits two small-town Texas festivals on consecutive weekends, with the “Kolache Festival� in Hallettsville being first on the agenda. The week between is spent cycling over flat coastal roads to the town of Palacios, with its historic Luther Hotel, and then, Goliad with its 18th century mission and fortress and historic old town square. The second weekend, we enjoy the “Come and Take It� celebration in Gonzales, another town steeped in Texas history.
Gentle coastal breezes and some table-top smooth, minimally-traveled roads make for idyllic cycling conditions. Coupled with several museum (and brewery!) visits, it makes for an unusual, interesting and educational bike tour. Come join us!
