three B’s

Ok, so I had planned and mapped out this 30 mile bike ride right? Well, something went astray during the journey, like 12 miles of it being dirt road. Now, when I say dirt road and you’re talking the Pine Barrens that really means sand road. Like sink your tires three inches into the sand road. Ergo, I ended up walking about 12 miles through Wharton State Forrest. Oh then another thing, the dirt roads, they don’t have a lot of signs, so I missed my turn. Ergo, instead of 30 miles, I went 53. Really. So now, my three B’s (balls – from the seat, back, and butthole – from the seat) are really, really hurting.

Here’s where I thought I would be heading today. Here’s where I ended up. Oh forgot something that made it suck a bit more, it rained. A lot.

And I’ll have you know farmers of Nesco and Hammonton, I ate nary a single one of your delicious blueberries as I rode by…and I was hungry…and those blueberries looked damn delicious.

    Ah man, that sucks. I’ve done similar – of course, I don’t have balls so they can’t be injured – but I have gotten lost on hikes. I think a long epsom salt bath is in order! Lavender works wonders too.

    Poor guy.

    You’re a better man than I. I would have totally eaten the blueberries. I might still. Where are they? I love good blueberries.

    You know that thing, “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” That’s not always the case.

    Oh man…do I feel for you. I’m not a man, so I don’t have the ball issue, but my butt and back hurt after a long ride. I hate riding in the rain, it sucks ass.
    How did you feel after going 53 miles?? I would have had to roll around on the ground like Yogi does just to be able to stand up straight.

    Ouch! Not even one little blueberry? Such restraint!

    I feel for you! Are you able to move now? Not even one blueberry? You are such a good man.

    Open Grove Claudia – I’m mostly recovered now, I’ll run tomorrow, but I needed to give my legs a break this morning.

    mrs. k – I moved, but very, very slowly.

    fortja – I’ll ice my back, but the other two B’s are not getting iced

    dorky dad – you didn’t hear it from me, but I posted a map

    dkeifer – yeah, I was definitely a “destination guy” after about 40 miles.

    April – the bike ride wasn’t that bad…well it was hard, but the walking in the sand was horrible. Also, when I made it to the Evan’s Bridge camp site, I noticed a big sign saying, “You are now in Black Bear Country”

    Chris – I was strong, blueberry strong.

    tori – i’m moving now – the lower back still hurts a bit, legs are ok. nary a berry.

    Oh my god. If I rode my bike to the corner store I’d be rigid come nightfall. I can’t imagine riding what you did and then being able to like, move.

  11.  furiousBall Says:

    mamatulip – I could move, but I was much happier laying in the bed just kind of softly whimpering
