So given everything I'm calling yesterday a 'Success'
It successfully crushed me the way thursday's hundo tried to do but was unable to.
It destroyed my one working decently light multi-purpose bike (bottom bracket is dead, shifter loose, still has RdR mud on it).
In abject contrast to Thursday's Hundo I was fine post ride, felt super strong to the point of surprising myself all the way till the end and until i fell asleep. I will admit to being really fucking tired but unlike Thursday, functionally tired.
This morning?
Fuck. That. Shit. Holy crap dude. I was a wreck. Took me forever to get out of the house, and pedaling wasn't painful, it was just slow. And I was tired all day. ALL fucking day. also that wasn't good but it was what it was and I'm home and dishes are done and dinner is made and everyone ate it.

Tomorrow is supposed to be smackdown, but Black Blue is dead in the water... no fucking way am I going to attempt that ride on the SSCX death cruiser made of lead. I could take the quantum pro out of mothballs but ... i dunno... i may work to announce the ride and let everyone have fun this week.
M-Sun last week i rode 250+ miles. I haven't ridden that far in a week since the end of august. NO WONDER I'M FUCKING TIRED!
piling on with smackdown just seems really dumb despite feeling compelled to be the defacto ride leader, even if i get dropped everytime, or when I don't get dropped i get left behind because I try to wait for others....
Yesterday was pretty awesome. Such a good day, even despite all my mechanicals.
I'm also in absolute sticker shock at a bar... $7 for a pint? Holy fucking shit... that'll get me more than happy for a whole night drinking at home... dumped a week's worth of beer into food and a couple pints. Worth it? Yeah.
The ride was so good.
Huge thanks to Roger for coming down, for Chip and his contribution in absentia.

Halfway through the ride I thought, "yes we have a shit ton of options for the route, we can change it completely... but... only 15 or so people have seen this like this... and they'll still have just as much fun as they did last year with this... I think we can run the same route next year and have even more fun.
Just going to need to work a bit better at not dropping balls and making sure I reach out well enough to get the attendance that will generated a significant donation as well as having a critical mass of awesome to ride the route.
I'll write up the ride tomorrow, maybe... I thought things would settle down now... but yeah.. fuck that... totally screwed for the next while....
