Why is Chinese food better a day later ?

The other day I received a flyer in the mail from an establishment called " Hong Kong Cuisine"

boasting it's grand opening and are you ready for this " free delivery".

The one thing Redlands has been missing was Chinese food delivered to my home. I called the other night and within 30 minutes a man was at my back door with piping hot Chinese food.

I told the proprietors of the Hong Kong Cuisine I would take it upon myself to tell all of Redlands of there free delivery and wicked good Vegetable Egg Foo Young.

So for those of you who missed the grand opening of the dream Cafe owned by Babu Bhatt. Please don't miss this opportunity to keep the little guy going.

Here is an excerpt of my conversation with the owner:

Owner You're a very kind man. Very kind, thank you. Very kind..

You must be 18 or over

This Sunday will represent the 6 month mark since I broke my pelvis. There are 1,330,044,544 Chinese people who could care less so don’t worry your not alone.

I was instructed by my doctor not to get into any cycling situations that may lead to my ass hitting the pavement until that date.

In the last few weeks I have done the 909 sampler rides. Heading out to Rain cross, Tuesday night twice and this last Thursday night I went to Crit.

So here are my observations of the three rides

1. Sunset World championships: you can’t fake this ride if you have no cardio. You can peacock your way to serpentine. After that it’s just you and the sound of a trash truck beep beep beep.

2. Crit: you can’t fake this ride if you can’t hold a line into a turn. Sure I came around the front on the 2nd lap rode hard to San Bernardino Avenue. Then the real move came. I really felt as if I was a part of something for 4 and ½ minutes!

3. Rain cross: you can’t fake this ride if you have not been out for longer than 2 hours on a ride. I always say you can tell how your Saturday is going to go as we climb up honeycomb hill in Grand Terrace. On my first Saturday back I think I sharted myself on that climb out.

Anyhow, the 6 months is over and now I am free to get some Ink a piercing and ride like the wind ( Christopher cross ) version of the wind that is.

Kenny Don't Surf !

I was at the Redlands Bike Classic this weekend. I feel like its your civic duty to head downtown to watch the race . I have a bike that has a suggested retail value of $ 9,300 and I don't even know what " Crit" stands for ?

Since I am still on the 6 month DL (disabled list) for those of you with no knowledge of baseball. I spent my weekend with the rest of the " Shammy Sniffers" on the curb. Did I mention recently how much fun it is to be big leagued , Now I know what Midwest aluminum siding salesman feel like.

While I was watching the races I was thinking how fun it would have been to watch the Races with Kenny Powers. Kenny was once asked if he had ever competed in a Triathlon. to which he responded “I play real sports…not trying to be the best at exercising.”

I always though the classic was missing something. Betting. This year for the 35+ crits , i made available para mutual betting. Next year I am going to include a pick 6 which will include the cat 5 race.

The new Team Redlands kits were on display at the races. Note to Team members you may want to avoid riding by any of the schools or churches with the new french Rio cut down the groin. A special thanks to Borat for his input on the cut of the kit.

Welcome back baseball , GO SOX !
