Top 8 Reasons to Enter a 100-Mile Bike Race
By Jeff Wyatt The Benefit of Training and Preparation At age 60, I set a goal: go to Wichita Falls and break the five-hour mark in their 100-mile bike race, in August, in the heat, aptly named Hotter ‘N Hell Hundred. After many years of jogging casually, my body would no longer tolerate running […]
