Well, that was the most painful night since breaking ribs.
I was honestly tying to think of a way I could score some heroin (which I have never touched), it hurts that much.
Hope y’all have a fabulous day.

:dislike: have you tried prescription opioids?

There is nowhere to get them, that’s my point. The doc in a box could only prescribe Tylenol 3, and I am not doing a hospital visit just for some drugs, they wouldn’t give me anything much more than that, anyway. It’s thanksgiving, I am far from home, no doctors to see.
I just wanna be a responsible opiate user till I can get back home, damnit!

Happy turkey day you filthy animals. Gonna get a greenway spin in before eating then a surf afterwards. Sadly in the part of Florida where my parents live there are no good trails.

Family invasion starts at my house at 2:00. Anyway, free coffee at Cumberland Farms today!! :headbang: Remember folks, you can have anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

Just a reminder. Don't forget about the dinner rolls. Put the cranberry sauce can in the fridge so you can serve it cold. The butter needs to be soft for the table and the mashed potatoes. Happy thanksgiving all of you....

I know a way you could eat massive piles of the most fattening foods possible and still lose weight. Wouldn’t you just love to plow through 3000-5000 calories per day and still drop pounds of fat ?
I remember reading about John Stamstad downing a whole can of Cheez Whiz while in the midst of one of his mega-rides.

That said, I’m satisfied with the evidence behind a diet (when not fasting intermittently!) that minimizes vegetable oils/omega-6 in general, minimizes sugar (inclusive of fructose), and has a moderate level of carbs. Minimize insulin area under the curve!
Holy balls, augured in hard enough on Cleanzer to really ring my bell. Like, maybe new helmet time. Beer time in the lodge. Im done.
Make sure you’re mentally clear before driving home! Don’t add insult to injury, as it were.

At the half way point on the AT there is a country store that sells ice cream. They call it the half gallon challange. Thru hikers can plow through it a matter of minutes.

In one town during Tour Divide I recall eating a salad and two entrees where I stopped for dinner (ordering double entrees always confused people). Got back to the little motel room and ordered a 12" pizza and a pint of B+J as a chaser.

holy shoppers hell. I580 had a 4 mile back up of folks trying to exit to the Livermore Outlets. Damn road is 5 lanes wide exit is one. Morons were trying to cut in from the fast lane. You go one more exit and they are running a free transit bus shuttle from the college. no waiting , the bus has a priority lane for drop offs. these folks are going to sit for hours trying to find parking. College lot was mostly empty with over 5000 parking spaces. Dumbasses.

A huge local park holds an annual light festival that covers the entire grounds. It draws tens of thousand visitors, all in cars. In fact the only way to see the show is by car as you drive very slowly through. On the weekends there will be traffic backed up on the highway for miles. So basically people are willing to sit for hours in traffic only to pay an entrance fee and then continue sitting in their cars. :no:

The park has some Flow Easy trails which can be fun at night, but I get chased by the Po po every-time. Seems bike lights distract from the paying show. I always make them work for it though, followed by, "Oh really, I can't ride here during the Festival ?"
