BubbaFest- Tuesday November 14, 2006 - including the Hall of Shame and the Hall of Fame

Tuesday started out with an 8 mile ride to breakfast at THE CRACKED EGG IN SIESTA KEY. So, by the time I had rode 8 miles, I was pretty much pooped and goofy. But as it is DICK VITALE's FAVORITE RESTAURANT and having been there before I knew the food would be great.

In 2003 and 2004, we should have been put in the HALL OF SHAME. I would eat a HUGE BREAKFAST with a HUGE OJ and a HUGE CHOCOLATE MILK. Probably the biggest breakfast I have ever had.

In 2006,I ate two scrambled eggs and one link of spicy cheese sausage (yummy) three forkfuls of home fries and one piece of toast. On a regular LapBand Day, this would be 1/2 to 2/3 of the whole day's food. But as I knew I was feeling bad, I had to try to eat more. So, I did.

But that brings us to the HALL OF SHAME and the HALL OF FAME.

Bubba and I met the cook and took our photo with him in 2004. We took his photo with us again in 2006. I wonder which one is him, which one is Bubba and which one is me? HALL OF SHAME AND HALL OF FAME.

I did finish the ride, having to take three long breaks, all with protein bars, and one with THREE PROPELS. The place we had chosen for lunch was closed- THOSE KNUCKLEHEADS! So my "lunch" was another Propel and a Protein Bar. At about 2 miles from our campground end I started getting dizzy headed so I took a 10 minute break. No protein Bars left. So I just rested. Thanks to Doug and Roger Roger for staying with me. I will be reviewing nutrition and hydration a lot more over the next four months before my next scheduled ride- BIKE FLORIDA.

I finished! I rode all the way to KEY WEST! We could have road 4 more miles out and 4 miles back to the Bottom of the US of A, but I was exhausted. I had done it before, so I passed and took a nap to be able to get to enjoy Key West that night. And THAT IS ANOTHER POST- yet to come!
