Mr. Browne, if you could just relax for a moment….

There is a new wrinkle to my preparation for my ride in France this July. I have to go to the doctor to have him certify that I’m “in shape” to do the 165k ride. I’m just worried that he’s going to take my blood pressure, reach for the latex gloves and ask me to drop. All I know is this Etape du Tour better be damn good.
