You've got to be exceedingly lactose tolerant to do this job, but even I was starting to feel a little nauseated by the cheesiness of pulling off Highway 101 merely to drive my car through a redwood tree.

Just in time for the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run (or other ultra challenges), veteran Bay Area distance runner Victor Ballesteros has marketed what is believed to be the first manufactured drop bag.
