\nA little more than 10,800 people participated in the annual ride, ranging from those taking it easy on the 10K course, to the more dedicated tackling the 100-plus mile endurance ride.
\nThe number is just shy of last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 11,100 participants, but the weekend\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s entire participation number should break the 12,000 mark, said Roby Christie, Hotter\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcN Hell Steering Committee chairman.
