As an avid golfer I know there are golf gods. If you start moughting off about how good you are playing or that you figured something out about the golf swing the golf gods will lay your highest round of the year on you. Be good to the golf gods and you will get a good bounce or a close putt will fall. If you play golf for long enough you will know there must be some higher power at work. :D
So anyway are there bike or fitness gods? I think there might be. Yesterday I took a hard ride, climbing a local mountain pass which is a pretty steep 2.4 mile climb. The view and 42 MPH (not even on the drops and with a back pack on) decent is worth the climb. So anyway when I got home and showered I my wife got home and said we had a play date with another family (3 year old sons at local park). So I get dressed and for some reason we met at Burger King near the park and grabbed dinner from there to take to the park. Man was this a mistake. I woke up at 12:30 with the worst case of the Rocket Butt and darn near puking (sorry to be so graphic). After 40 min on the toilet in a cold sweat I went back to bed but the Hershey Squirts returned this AM. I am dieing over here. :( LOL
Hadn't been to BK in almost 2 years and I am pretty much never going back (which can only be good for me). :rolleyes:
Sorry had to share. :p
Thanks for the vivid details..LOL
I have to say the end of your story caught me completely off guard I assumed the cycling god's would take some sort of cycle based revenge on you, I believe your complaint should be laid at the feet of the gastrointestinal gods in charge of your whopper.

True maybe you are right. Didn't get the whopper though, I went with the bacon sourdough cheeseburger. Eating is fairly related to cycling though...I mean you have to eat to have the energy right? I know when golfing if you eat the wrong food mid round you can mess up your timing and totally ruin a round but I guess I wasn't riding when I ate the BK.
Oh well just had to vent. It was a stretch. :(

So are your shorts salvageable..Unless they are like Santini Twist bibs: I might consider them disposable like Pampers.
I am told before disposable diapers, they used to clean out diapers in the toilet...Wonder the species survived. And there were diaper services..Job I would not want.!
So remember LeMond won the TDF with your problem..He grossed out the domestiques... Think I would change my saddle after something like that.
Yes, and the bastards laugh at me everyday.

Oh my heck...I cannot eat fast food after a ride. With the exception of Subway. Big time problems...much like you decribed (TMI!!) Likewise I can't eat like that before a ride either. I have pretty much steered clear of most fast food places, but some of them have great salads.
ps...bacon sourdough cheeseburger...it'll getcha every time...ride or not!!

Ever see American Pie? I don't want to do that for 40 min on my bike. It got ugly and I have sworn off BK burgers for the rest of time. Maybe their chicken will treat me better...or maybe I just shouldn't go back to BK. :D

You might be onto something, but I'm not exactly sure what.

BK will kill you.. other than Subway, and the occasional other sandwich place... fast food is the DEVIL !

there's no such thing as bad food, only bad diets....
yes, there are cycling gods. can you send the golf gods over by me today, sunday @ around 1pm CST? thanks.
#1 worship them each and every day or you will wreck, be stranded, meet a new canine friend, or just have many crappy days. #2 when I really get into shape in the spring I can't eat that kind of crap until the off season or my bad rejects it like a bad transplant. Sounds like your rejected it too.
