I feel perfectly fine today. I laughed at the pre-ride advice the club sent out saying, "Be sure you hydrate and eat post-race, especially if you plan to ride the next day" (emphasis mine). But seriously, I could get on my bike today no problem. I've been training for about 5 months for this, purposely riding routes that, while not as long, had far more strenuous climbing than anything I did yesterday. I've been far more exhausted by some of those than I was yesterday. I credit that to both my pre-ride prep (carb loading and some tune-up rides during the week) and in LARGE part to the club that put on the event. The refreshments and hydration they provided at all the rest stops (OMG was it glorious to see huge chunks of fresh pineapple at the 50 mile mark) meant there was no problem keeping my body fueled properly which is the key to NOT being in pain at the end.

80 pounds down, 20 more to go to reach my goal this year! Next year, 25, maybe 30 more.

I feel fantastic; better than I have in years.

I think there'll be a lot less sitting down to rest (and smoke) this trip (November 2). Coolies! I can ride Haunted Mansion just that many more times this year... AND see Haunted Mansion Holiday for the very first time.

Pre-trip excitement has definitely set in.

Congrats on the weight loss Scrooge!

WOW !! I am impressed !! Well done. To knock off the extra 20, just do the early morning fastpass run at DL when you're there

WTG Scrooge!

Pump Peelz - someone is brilliant! When you're stuck wearing something hanging off your arm 24/7 it's nice to decorate them up a bit. She does occasionally write on them in sharpie "This is a Pump" or "Stop Staring".

Another pattern she got shows the inside workings of the pod.

They're here - and with a few surprises too.

Just got a package in the mail today, and it contained a whole buncha butter buds mix.

It also contained what appears to be every park info sheet ever published in every language known on earth (and then some - I think one of them is in Klingon...)

And, as a surprise, it contained a couple of very snazzy sets of ears:

The Crumpled Gemstone look. (Stoat will fix this for me - he's good at crafty stuff...)

Buds Package 20122.jpg

And the Bride Of FrankenBear Look. Does it make me look smarter? Nope - you can still see my face.

Buds Package 20124.jpg

BTW, we get the hint, guys.

Also included was American Cheddar Cheese Powder. Be still my beating heart. This is headed STRAIGHT onto our popcorn. Nom Nom Nom.

Buds Package 20125.jpg

But, alas, I couldn't resist, and the Butter Buds Mix and Cheese Powder combined to make a symphony of Cheese Sauce Loveliness.

Buds Package 20126.jpg

I'd share some with you, but there's none left.

THANK YOU to all who helped to make this possible. It makes me feel all the more closer (despite being around the other side....)

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The Happy Bear.
