Comments: With 20 years of cycling, I finally can asy I've ridden Hotter 'N Hell. (Temps this year weren't that bad, actually.) The event was everything I'd expected - very large yet very well organized. Might be fun to come back and actually race it one year.

Comments: Overall the event was great. The only problem was lack of a good "aid station" at the end of the ride. Most other rides I have been on have some food and whatnot out at the end, here there was only water and powerade - everything else was carnival food.

Comments: After having raced running and triathlon events, this is my first pure cycling event and I have to say that the organization and friendliness of the volunteers is outstanding. Volunteers would practically beg to hold your bike so you could go to the restroom or stretch. When I would ask for a cup of water to fill my camelbak, they would just take the camelbak and do all the filing themselves. I loved the spectators and everyone seemed so happy to have us there (I don't blame them - 14k racers brings a lot of money to the cities surrounding Wichita Falls, probably 10x as much tourism related revenue as the rest of the year combined). The only criticism I have is that the powerade and gatorade were rather watered down - if they were going to serve it in pitchers with ice, they should have made it 2x strong so that it wasn't just slightly flavored water. All in all, a great event and one I'll definitely be doing next year.
