Sean's home was our rendezvous for the HHH journey (near Madison, WI). Four of us (Sean, Chet, Chris, and Howie) took on a challenge to ride 200 KM (almost 125 miles) of HILLY ride with some insanely steep climbs. It was June of 2007.
Morning preparation (6am).
We were rookies there and couldn't figure out where to register and problems with Chris and Chet's bicycles came up (blown tire and broken spoke, respectively) delayed our start by one hour (some started that late too). We arrived first rest stop with ten miles short on our odometers and we figured out that we missed a loop at the beginning. Oh well we moved on and had to take about 5 miles short cut at the end due to time. We will never forget the unforgiving forever up hill along Blue Mounds Road and then unseen before "like a wall" uphill for the final stretch.
End of the ride...we barely survived the ride.
Chet
