I woke up at 4 o'clock every morning to break down my camp, dress, repack my bags, and load them on the gear truck. Then I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, stood in breakfast line, generally

Thank you! I am so glad I had the space in my life to do it. It's not every year that I'll have that luxury.

There was an infamous ride some years ago, maybe 5 or 6? Where there was a horrible rotavirus outbreak around riders. Hundreds of people got it after patient zero figured he would still head to this ride he had trained so hard for. Apparently there was a sea of suffering riders around the medical tent, with buckets.

Drop bibs, spread 'em, and bend over for the looksee of a person wearing a head lantern! What more to say? I think you get on the table and spread them if it's a labia problem. Luckily, my labia was fairly well soothed with butter. While I will miss all the ridiculous butts butts butts jokes in the long line outside the tent I am definitely going to audition new saddles for the next ride. There has to be one better suited for my bottom.
