Aroused Feline LXIX is coming...

It's been a fun week of wound care/scab management, avoiding obstacles with certain body parts, googling AC joint separation/sprain, adapting my "strength training" to accommodate my limited mobility and keeping sensitive areas from touching the ground or bearing weight (pushups still ain't happening), and really missing my mountain bike.  It really is time to start getting back to the business of lining up ducks for the Horny Cat 69 in less than a month, or as it's known south of the border...

Most of the important details are already in this post, so click on over if you dunno anything about what's going on.  I'm gonna keep taking your money for the party/fundraiser until EOD October 6th.  I'd rather close it up Sunday night, but I had to go ahead and add a day because I'll be busy with the King and Queen of the Watershed and any related fallout until Monday morning.  For a minimum of $13 (there is no maximum), you can ride around and have a big 69 mile adventure (or less if you so choose) that ends in a party and probably/mebbe some swag. 

I've been out and about with my limited physicality making sure things are as they should be.

The sketchy bridge is still strong enough to withstand the downward forces generated by a skinny but fat four apple tall man on a slightly upgraded mid-level build noodle bar bike with too much sealant in the tires.  I suspect it will still be okay in a month's time.

I rode the entire Mount Muck section, and currently... it's dry?  I couldn't believe it myself, but I managed to get through the whole thing without walking around one swamp or sippy hole.  It had been running about like this the last time I explored down there:

Fangers crossed.

I've already got a decent number of people coming, but the more the merrier... until there's too many... but I'm not there quite yet.  A few people paid up just to donate to the cause and aren't even attending.  I've yet to get one female participant, but I seem to remember every woman who came last year completed nearly everything... but then again, what do I know?  I spent most of the day in the E.R.  

Anyways, it ain't all about the Horny Cat yet.  Still got the King and Queen of the Watershed and the Barnburner 50k to knock out, so I'm gonna still be an "athlete" for a few more weeks.

Had to stock up on Cheat Juice™, as I'll be boosting my Hemo Goblins until the end of the "season" and starting right back up when it's time to get ready for Winter Shart Tarck.  I've been using it pretty consistently as opposed to just before rides since... some time in April?  The science is there to back it up, so you don't have to base your nutrition decisions on the incredibly "successful" year that I've had.

And speaking of stocking up...

Although I have a shit ton of HandUp gloves, I picked up a couple more pairs of Sundura gloves.  I know it's gonna get chilly in a couple months, and I'll have to resort to warmer options, but I've grabbed these more often than any other pair of gloves this entire summer.  Mebbe I'll select vented gloves when it's balls hot outside and I'm thinking performance over comfort, but the Sunduras just seem inexplicably more comfortable than any other full fanger hand covers made by HandUp.

And if I've learned anything about finding a favorite anything, it's that hoarding is the only option.

Anyhoo, get into Horny Cat now, so I can be more worried about the weather on October 11th than I already am.
