Twice Riding the Hound Dog

The Hound Dog 124K to Aurora has quickly become one of our most popular routes. I rode it last Sunday, Jan. 2, with Dan Pfaff and yesterday with Tamara Mitchell. The Sunday ride was chilly, but nothing like yesterday, it was 22 degrees at the 7:30 start and 25 degrees when I got home a little after 14:00. Fortunately, the sun was out the entire time. There is not intermediate control between Springfield and Aurora, but we stopped at the Casey's in Billings for hot chocolate and to warm up. In Aurora, a local church group was at the Casey's filling gas tanks and buying coffee and hot chocolate. So we got free hot chocolate. Unfortunately, it looks like there may be a lot of cold rides this winter.
