The name says it all. The Hot-
ter 'N Hell Hundred grew
out of efforts to find a special
way for Wichita Falls to cel-
ebrate its 1982 centennial. In the
hottest month of the year, most Texas
cities might plan an indoor festival-or you might think Wichita Falls
would celebrate its namesake with
some fun on the water. Instead, the
Wichita Falls Bicycle Club proposed a
bicycle ride-100 miles in 100-degree
heat to celebrate 100 years, coining the
name and a race that would attract
intrepid cyclists to North Texas for
decades to come. This annual August
race is still the largest single-day 1oo-.ML -6
l L rGRAPE EXPECTATIONS
Make wine the old-fashioned way in Stonewall at the Becker Vineyards Annual Grape Stomp on Aug. 25-26 and Sept. 1-2. To toast the e
of harvest season, half barrels will be filled with grapes so oenophiles can try their hand-well, foot-at crushing grapes. After your stomp session,
you can stamp your purple footprints on the back of a souvenir T-shirt to commemorate the occasion. During the second weekend, there will be
Lucy & The Italian Woman Contest, where attendees can channel their inner Lucille Ball. Costumes-and enthusiasm-are required! The event is
free and open to the public. beckervineyards.comPHOTOS: (above) courtesy Hotter 'N Hell Hundred/ Richard Carter; (cover photo) iStock.

mile bicycle ride in the nation-and
one of the largest in the world; last
year the event welcomed some 11,000
registrants for the weekend. This year,
Aug. 23-26, attendees can enjoy live
outdoor concerts, a consumer show, a
spaghetti dinner, and more in addition
to competing against the road, the
wind, and a heat that's hotter than
(you guessed it) hell. hhlOO.orgti
