<An interesting story by itself. People die on this thing. A real masochists' convention. A hundred mile bike ride in 105+ degree heat is not a Sunday traipse in the park.> Being a sexist as well as a bigoted racist, I can tell you that they were nearly all males with perhaps 5 women out of 100. Correct? Or maybe it isn't really that harsh and dangerous. Women are NOT into dying in challenges. Though there are a few who get caught up in something once it seems to have been suitably tamed, [such as Mount Everest, the Space Shuttle], then die. Mq

I read your story to Dan which was fun since we had just been there. Neither of us can remember seeing the Spur Hotel though! There was a theatre called the Royal that looked as if it were being worked on, and we saw an old café that still had the remains of the words "Texasville" painted over it, but that was it. I wonder if we missed the main street or something!! I fail to see the logic in holding a cycling event in Aug in Texas. Of course I;'m not a cyclist, so maybe there is some benefit there that eludes me. It seems more desirable to have the Colder than Crap Centennial, or the Temperate Ten by Ten. I bet housing is reasonable there.
