… “We’re a group of firefighters from Los Angeles who wanted to do something to commemorate that day, so we decided to ride across the country,” explained Ostrovsky.<\/p>\n

They left from Hollywood, rode through several states, including Arizona, Oklahoma, and Texas. “We average about 100 miles a day. This past week I think we rode, in five days, 573 miles,” said Prabhu. …<\/p>\n

How to hydrate properly during the Hotter \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn Hell, Texas bicycle race!<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nThe Wheel Brothers – Cycling in Texas
\nThis is one of the hottest summers on record in \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcrecent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Texas history and you need to prepare well for Saturday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Hotter \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn Hell bicycle ride. Last year Brad our team Doctor (Okay, so he is a Doctor that happens to be a Wheelbrother) wrote a great guide on how to properly hydrate for the race. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m republishing it this week since…<\/p>\n

The weather in Wichita Falls looks like it will be a hot one unlike the last two years. I am not sure what the turnout will be but if the past is any indicator there could be over 13,000 riders. I will be there (look for my Texbiker.net red, white and blue jersey). I plan on riding the 75 mile route (100 mile route but I will take the Hell’s Gate in Burkburnett through Sheppard Air Force Base). The turn at Burkburnett always seems to be into a strong headwind just when you are tried from the 60 miles up to that point. There is a road side rest stop on I-44 southbound with a few trees that always has a bunch of riders trying to recover. If you like it hot this year is the the ride for you.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
