Redlands is About to "Drop"

HOT SHIT REDLANDS HERE WE COME!!!! THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE BIGGEST, OR THE LONGEST, OR THE STEEPEST RACE I'VE EVER DONE,  BUT YIKES WARREN -- THIS IS A BIG ONE.

I'VE WANTED TO DO THIS RACE SINCE I BEFORE I KNEW HOW TO ADJUST A REAR DERAILER, AND DOGGONIT, NOW THAT I'M HERE, AND NOW THAT I'VE PRE-RODE THEM COURSES, I'M STARTIN' TO GET SCARED!

This thing's got HILLS! And it's got WIND! And it's got 199 other guys from 25 teams who will eat me alive if I let them!

But I ain't gunna let them. I ain't! Cuz I know something they don't know: I AM FULLY PROFICIENT IN BAS RUTTEN'S LETHAL STREET FIGHTING SELF-DEFENSE SYSTEM AND I WILL KICK A LIL' ASS IF NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if there's any truth to this -- if any of my blog readers knows the scoop, please comment!

Good night, good luck, and thank goodness healthcare passed -- at least I didn't spend all that time workin' the phone banks for nothing!
