Redlands red-eye

Well we're in Redlands, California for the Redlands classic, a, well, classic 4 day stage race. Been around for a long time and very hard. Not only for the racers who flog themselves like rented mules ( a classic Tolweism) but for your friendly neighborhood soignanic (or mecheur) it means late nights and early morns, keeping six riders and six bikes tip top. The racers are great even though no one is flying right now, and I have to say that these Time bikes are the shizzle. Tomorrow the race does it's final day around the Sunset Loop; check it out here.

FYI it's climbing from where the sun flashes in your eyes to the feed zone, and they do it 9 times.

Yee-haw! I am headed to bed.
