Beat this guy??

Beat Mark Schwartzendruber in a time trial you say? Well, here is your chance! On August 23rd, Mark and his Scarlet Fire Racing Team will be putting on "The Drubber 40K Challenge " sponsored by Verizon Wireless in downstate, Tolono, Illinois. Ride and race on the roads that Druber uses as his training grounds. Anyone beating Drubber's time wins $50.00 bucks in cold hard cash!
