Tour di Stupid (Lite) planning thread

[jobob]

Bubba was doing a lot of whining this weekend. Demonstrated his "30 whines in 30 secs" for someone. Nostaglia . . . .

Did that someone almost pee in his/her pants laughing, like the first time I was subjected to it?

I'm in! I feel like the co-instigator of this ride, so I can't really back out at this point. People might think I'm a chicken or something.

Or something.

OTOH, my housemates and colleagues would be happy to confirm the ways that I have been cross-training for the Tour di Stupid.

Did it involve lifting mass quantities of adult beverages, perchance?

Since pretty much everyone has either not ridden much lately, or has to be someplace later in the day (damn! I wish I though of that one!!!), could we perhaps consider scaling back on the stupidity a bit ?

Like, maybe, up to the summit of Hamilton and back down the way we came?

Oh geeze, I can hear maillotpois yelling "wuss!"

Isn't that still something like a 60 mile ride? I mean I wouldn't exactly sneeze at it...

But I love that descent down Mines..

I'll do whatever the collective wants to do. (Resistance is futile.)

Well I'm bettin' my $.05 that somebody's going to want to do the whole thing, despite claims to the contrary.

See, now I want to see the descent down Mines. So we'll have to schedule it again later just for me.

It's been an intense and varied training program of stupid activities. Sometimes they involved mass quantities of adult beverages, sometimes they didn't. What can I say? I'm flexible.

A-choo!!

I am lazy, moderately fat and uninspired. My daughter has logged more miles than I have this month. (She did a 90 miler yesterday as training for Tucson.) So I am up for the scenic up and back, the out and down to the biker bar, or whatever you guys want to do.

A shorter version might be doable...

I sense a trend.
