Thanks for helping HH100. I won't arrive until Friday afternoon so I'll miss you.

@@RickAnkrum Friday's I'm over there with the mountain bike and Friday evenings I'm usually back in the registration area for the gravel rides on Saturday night. /at packet handout. have a good ride.

@@ronniebaker8126 I will look for the MTB and gravel areas.

Friday evening the kids I think they start at 5:00 over on the mountain bike trail then I'm usually back over on Friday evenings for spaghetti dinner and registrations are packet pickup I kind of just mixed around on those days then I ride on Saturday with the special Olympics we do the 25 Miles

@@ronniebaker8126 I'll try to look you up.

Yes, I'll ride the 100k route. Hoping the forecast cools a few degrees

My son in law rode Vernon Burnin today. 100k. 100° when he finished. He can’t make HHH. I couldn’t make either but did 40 yesterday. Take care!

@@bryanschwertner3585 That was a good substitute ride. Good work!

Thanks. We could use some rain though. Next 2 days will hotter, maybe 100+.

The shade is nice when it is hot.

Thanks for watching. Traffic gives me space and most of the frontage road has a shoulder.

@@RickAnkrum​​⁠…would have to agree with the viewer’s comment about riding on that frontage road. The whole time was concerned for your safety with cars and trucks flying by. Didn’t see any other cyclists there, but I did skip around a bit.

@@dolittle6781 Traffic is friendly giving me the space I need. No other cyclists.

@@RickAnkrum fair enough…

I'm okay. I'll be back riding today. You are so correct about kissing the dirt/concrete/asphalt.

Thanks. I will riding carefully.

Thanks. I am planning on riding tomorrow. I'll be more careful.

Falls/crashes are part of biking but I don't like when it happens. Glad that you got back on your bike. I think I will be back tomorrow with more attention to the re-entry angle. Thanks for your comment and encouragement.

Thanks. I should start riding earlier in the day.

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad my video has helped you plan your ride.

You should have no problem then with HH100. Good ride at Katy.🚲😀

Thanks for asking. I am having a health issue plus the aftermath of hurricane Beryl. Not sure when I'll be back on the bike.

Awww hope u feel better soon. My husband watches ur channel. He mountain bikes. We live in Houston too ​@@RickAnkrum

@@RickAnkrum the hurricane was awful 😞

@@Ashleyiza Thank you. Hope you have recovered from Beryl. Thanks for watching my channel.

@@Ashleyiza Yes. Many days without electricity. I live where there are thousands of trees making it hard to clear the lines and get power back on. I still see repair trucks going on my street.

Tell that to the kid I saw in a hotdog costume

I didn't see any

It was too tough for me to complete. I moved to the gravel roads. sorry for the break.

@@RickAnkrum Those mosquitos went crazy as soon as I stepped off the bike. I did see a couple deer in another area.

@@travis5738 I think I was early enough that the mosquitos had not arrived yet. I imagine they are thick now.

Not very often. I ride Gatorskin tires. Pretty durable.

Thanks for watching and asking. I like the Helix. Since I bought it I added another bike to my fleet and that bumped the Helix down to #3 on my preference list: #1 Cervelo Caledonia, #2 Canyon Endurace CF7, #4 Trek Marlin 8 MTB. I got the SRAM Rival AXS etap group which I have on the Cervelo and Canyon. I really like electronic shifting. I added the Rival Power Meter crankarm and ICAN Cycling Alpha 46 carbon wheels. The freewheel is noisy but I tune it out now. I have the same wheels on the Cervelo and Canyon. The Helix feels harsh when I ride over rough roads compared to the carbon framed Cervelo and Canyon. There is a street with about 100 feet of rough cobbles that I use to compare the road absorption. The Helix weighs about 4 pounds more than those bikes too. The harsh ride and extra weight are the reasons it is #3. I've put 4246 miles on it. I wanted to experience a titanium frame bike. I also owned a Lynskey R300 with Ultegra mechanical groupset. I sold it and bought the Helix. Enjoy your new bike. Let know what you think of the Helix.

Thanks for watching. Ride on

Fantastic. I have rode mine too much yet but I will make plans.

I have a MTB but have not rode it much. No handy trails to ride on. I like walking out the back door and getting on my bike to ride. Maybe as I get older that will change. Thanks for commenting and watching.

The video makes them seem to be closer most of the time. There are some exceptions though.

Lots of sweat stains

No mountains or hills around here so we have wind to make up for that. Dogs are the surprise element. I altered one route a couple of years ago because 2 dogs hung out there every day. Thanks for watching.😀

I thought it might have dried up with no rain for 6 days.

Glad you watched.

I didn't mention how sticky it was!

@@RickAnkrum I can't even imagine,

Thanks. I do a few organized rides during the year. Otherwise I ride alone.

Yes, but wire seems to be a problem for them.

@@RickAnkrum man you get so many flats it's just crazy in comparison to my area.

@@bonbonflippers4298 I hope the streak ends with tomorrow's ride.😂

Thanks. Enjoy the rides.

Sorry you had high water too. Better ride next time.

Thanks for watching from Wichita Falls

Like a fish out of water

I did not think of them as speed bumps but you are right.

I have much to learn. I'll try Double Lake in Coldspring next.

Glad you came along for the ride. Thanks
