Its All About The Suffering

Its All About The Suffering
After several months of blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears), the largest cycling charity event has been completed. I must thank my sponsors Fury, Tigress, Kitty, Lraw, and of course, the Shima clan, for funding me for this event.

So after two days and 168 miles, its time to take stock in what I learned:

  • The KBT Cycling team was fortunate enough to be one of the largest teams out of the 2,300 riders attending.
  • Best fundraising line heard: "Give me money or else I will send you a picture of me in lycra."
  • GU is some truly nasty tasting stuff.
  • On the other hand, Cytomax tastes even worse.
  • Forget sunscreen. Bring bug spray!
  • Giving blood doesnt include the mosquitoes taking three pints.
  • When you are exhausted, there is no such thing as a "small incline."
  • There is no such thing as a "good headwind."
  • Putting ice in your skullcap is a good idea. For about the first 10 seconds. Then you are just freezing your brain.
  • Snow cones should be in their own food group.
  • Apparently having your tongue hanging out has become a new cyclist trait.
  • "The ice cream shop is just down the street..." pffft!
  • Rollerblading 84 miles a day trumps any complaints about riding the bicycle for six hours.

    Now perhaps I can get back to playing video games on the weekends.
