So the infamous race is tomorrow......

....Copperopolis Road Race. Ouch man - that one doesn't look too sweet. But know this - finishing that thing is a victory in itself. And talking to some riders who were in it last year, here are some tips:

Don't bring or eat corndogs during your race.
Don't go Number 2 after the first lap......or second lap.....try to wait until your race is finished to go poopie-pottie.(Um, it's a Chico thang).
Lock your water bottles in the cages - or bring bottles you hate......like the two I have that are missing lids(decided to keep them to clean chains).
After the race - or even during the race! - you can replenish your water bottle collection......I hear they're having a sale on them on the side of the road at Copperopolis. Free water bottles for anyone who is willing to pick them up off the ground.
And finally, just be careful out there - I want allayous to come back scar-less and in one piece!

Good luck out there!
