Mixture of rants & raves:

Bike the Drive was today, the annual event where the Chicago Bicycle Federation closes off Lake Shore Drive to 10,000+ bikers. I always run the entire loop (Hollywood to 57th and back - 30 miles). Unlike previous years I spent about 2 months working back from winter dormancy to biking conditioning. Every ride this year has been awesome, so I had no reason to doubt that these 30 mi were going to be a piece of cake.

Wrong.

About .5mi in, I heard my legs have the following conversation.

Left Thigh: Um, LT?
Right Thigh: Sup, RT?
LT: What the hell is going on?
RT: Oh shit. Is Bike the Drive today?
LT: Naw, man. That's next week.
RT: No I'm pretty sure its today. Its Memorial Day weekend.
LT: Aw.... crap. Um, well someone should wake up the calves and knees.
Calves:AARRRRRGHHATHGHGH!!!!
RT: C's already up
C:AARRRRRGHHATHGHGH!!!!
LT: Hey man, can you keep it down a bit, you're hurting my striated bits.
Hip Flexors:Bloody hell?
C:AARRRRRGHHATHGHGHARATARARATARARAGATAG!!!!
HF:Quite right.
LT: Sigh. Hey Knees, you up?
Knees:HEY DUDES! I AM SOOOOO DRUNK! LOLZ!!!!!11one
LT: We're screwed.
RT: Pretty much.

The first 7.5 miles northbound were an incredible struggle (plus, the "toughest" inclines are there). I actually considered quitting... it seriously felt like I was on mile 59 of a 60 mile trek. Besides all of that, it rained from the time I started (5:45a) to about 7am. My entire body was soaked (but rave: the crowd was thin!). After I hit Hollywood Ave however, (1/4 done), the adrenaline started flowing and I got stronger each mile afterwords.

It was the hardest time I've had on LSD since my first Bike the Drive... when I tried it after attending my brother's memorial day party (biking on 3 hours sleep and still pretty drunk.) All told, I finished strong, 30 miles in about 2hrs 15min. w00t!!! :D :D :D

Otherness:
A men's clothing wholesaler had a blowout tent sale yesterday. I got three new suits!!! :D

I don't think you should be dropping acid while riding a bike :(

Rave: I bought my brother some of that beer that you all raved about in NC. The Sunset wheat. He and his gf both approve.
Rave: Still in NC!!!
Rave: My family is a bit insane, but I love them.
Rave: my brother brought Redneck Horseshoes and I'm actually pretty good at it.

RAVE: I'm toasted. In more ways than one.

Amlthrawn:
Try doing a similar distance while doing your own routefinding and over terrain varying from 'recently resurfaced road' to 'field that was annoyingly lumpy before the cowprints'. Then you get complaints from most of the other joints in your body as well.
Particularly after a somewhat unexpected ditch causes the crossbar to try and castrate you.

Sadly for you, no. When the front wheel drops suddenly, you start to expect that it's going to come upwards again just as suddenly, followed by the frame.

I could be wrong, but I think he's saying, in some roundabout way, that he wants your nuts. Badly.
