prepare yourself

Beautiful:
That's the elevation profile for the 2009 Liege-Bastogne-Liege. And we're going to replicate it (a considerably shorter version, of course) in the hills and foothills of Michaux.

A Mini-Liege-Bastogne-Liege, if you will. (Though we'll likely call it Ship-Gettysburg-Ship, or something to that effect.)

And there will be a mini-Paris-Roubaix, a mini-Milan-Sanremo, and a mini-Giro di Lombardia.

Prepare yourself. They are coming...
