The Female Dog Run Off With...

Last night's homemade Buffalo Chicken, Rice and Bean Burrito Glutton Fest was incredible! BUT, I think the spicyness and my morning coffee binge got the best of me, and by the time I got on the Mamasita this morning I was feeling a bit... Let's just say my caboose hurt a bit. But a perfect, crisp fall day on the bike was not gonna be deterred by a little wing sauce chap ass.

Rather than waste time driving around to hit the trails, I opted for an extended "multi surfaced" mountain bike ride starting from the local rail trail. Bunch of folks out today on the trail, mostly senior citizens. Apparently the seniors had some sort of Halloween theme to their ride, with many of them in full costume. Surreal.

Added some "new to the loop" roads to today's ride, and was able to bang out a nice 46+ miles. Felt pretty good and 3:20 of knobbie riding was a great way to start off Operation Eating Disorder (O.E.D.) 2009/10.

One of the "new to the loop" roads gave me this little gem sighted on a local "deer processor's" gate-

Can't say I understand the first part of the message. I think it may have just been an excuse to use the phrase "bitch run off with", I know I try to work it into conversations as much as possible, but who knows? Today's roads also threw me a bunch of short to moderate steep climbs. Real glute popping, lower back hurting, "My ass isn't raw enough! Can I grind my it into the chamois a LITTLE more??" type climbs. BUT I guess it was the whole "pain/doesn't kill/stronger thing. Hope so, I'd hate to think that all that will come from all the climbing is a big ass, a bad back and a raw ass.

It was a pretty perfect day in the saddle and I think I even was given the gift of a tail wind coming back to the xB via the rail trail. That was nice.

So today was the first day of the above mentioned O.E.D.. Pretty much a success, except that I could not say now to a handful of shredded cheese on top of my veggie rice and beans. But I figured other than tablespoon or so of e.v.o.o., and a tablespoon of Smart Balance butter on my toast this morning, I really had no fat today. So I figured some from some 2% shredded cheese wouldn't kill.

No meat is hard enough (even though I spent 80% or so of the first 7 years of my marriage as pretty much a non meat cooker/eater due to Wifey's one time pre-pregnant with B-Man vegetarianism), but no cheese too??? Not sure about that. I think I'll be good as long as I limit it to a handful here and there and not the 10 pound bricks I usually sit around an snack on.

Time to go read, get some sleep and dream of giant mugs of hoppy beer, bricks of cheese, and plates full of turkey sausage. LOL! Only 3 more days and I can have at least few of those hoppy beers! ;)

Later.
