Tour de Donut or Tour de Tucson

Which one sounds more fun to you?  Craig, Brad and Kyle are out riding. Kyle had a hard 13 miler at cross country practice this morning, he ran a 5:30 last mile. I should be out riding too, but I'm still "recovering" from the St. George Marathon. We have Tour de Tucson on the calendar for November, but I'm going to have to find some motivation to get out there and get ready for it.

I'm really liking the idea of a "Tour de Donut" more and more all the time.  This is how it works:  
The course is approximately 7 miles long, ending where it began. Pull into the staging area at the end of lap one in an orderly fashion and wait for a judge to mark your lap number. Proceed to the donut area and eat as many donuts as you wish without puking. A judge will mark on your race number the number of donuts you eat at this stop. Complete the second lap, get marked by a judge, eat your donuts and ride your third lap. At the completion of the third lap, enter the finish line, where a judge will mark your time on your race number. Take the race number to the time judge, where a 3 minute allowance will be given for each donut eaten (and recorded on the race number). Times will be recorded for each General Classification rider and prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
Adjusted Youth under 14 (donut bonus factored in)
Non-adjusted Youth under 14 (no donut bonus)
Adjusted General Classification (age 14-40) Male and Female
Non-adjusted General Classification (age 14-40) Male and Female
Adjusted Masters Classification (age 41 and over) Male and Female
Non-adjusted Masters Classification (age 41 and over) Male and Female
King and Queen of Donuts (Male and Female riders eating the most donuts-- without puking-- and still completing the race)
What do you think, I think we should start the first annual Redlands Tour de Donut!!!
