Thursday spent the afternoon trying to poop out dogbutt so that when I'm away for the
weekend so she behaves.
Friday I spent the day pestering
@axcxnj and
@ajcourain to hurry the F up so we can go on a trip!
Met the Courains and Adam at my house
Aaron proclaimed that he was going to spend the entire weekend trying to rile me up and make fun of my diet. Game on.
First stop was a Popeye's chicken in some GHETTO. Adam and I did not partake in this "food"
I felt very out of place.
Pulled into Kingdom Trails after midnight, set up a god damn tent, and went to sleep with Adam. It was cold!
Woke up, ate some breakfast where Adam confessed that he didn't have a sleeping bag. I was in the tent and I could have sworn he had one, but it was just a down blanket. Poor guy, it was cold! Then we went to the general store so the Courain's could get their sugar fix. So I ate second breakfast there of some scrambled eggs.
Then out for a ride! It was cold! did I mention it was god damn cold up there?
But after 45 minutes we started warming up and we all enjoyed watching Aly try and take off her long pants while leaving her mtb shoes on. This was entertaining.
Made our way over to the good stuff
Stopped for some mandatory photo ops while Aly and Aaron split a 2 pound bag of gummy bears.
Aaron started getting super frustrated at my spaghetti map and started demanding we do the trails all wrong. The engineer in him wanted to do all the trails like how a google maps car hits all the streets in NY. He just could not wrap his head around how that would not work at kingdom trails. IT DOESN'T SAY ONE WAY, LETS JUST GO UP TAP AND DIE AND DOWN TODY'S TOUR.
I missed
@Dominique
At some point Aaron proclaimed that his goal in life was to build a trail called "the best trail in the world' and have the first 300ft of trail be super awesome. And then it just turns to pure shit. So that he can laugh at all the stupid people that went down his trail. We all told him that he needs to see a doctor.
After 30 miles everyone started shutting down from lack of food and we bumped into
@PlayAllDay at the top of Kitchell. That was neat. At some point that day we ran into 2 Beacon Bombers and
@JSantana and his wife.
Was cool seeing NJ peeps up there.
Tried to get some dinner, but it was clear that vermont hates us or something. There seemed to be plenty of seats left in both places we stopped at but they "couldn't seat us till 9". It was like 6:30
Ugh, so we went back to the general store. I packed all my meals, so I was fine. Aaron was having sugar withdrawl so we went to the general store where he ate an entire pizza.
We hung out in there till closing, went back in the van and watched caddyshack.
Then I jumped out of the van into the tent and passed out. It got COLD that night.
I had all of Aaron's 0 deg camping stuff, winter tent, 0 deg bag, booties, and I barely kept it together. I can tolerate the heat very well, the cold not so much. Unless I'm moving, then I'm pretty okay. Once I lay down in the cold and my heart rate drops my hands and feet turn into ice cubes. I have very very low blood flow to my hands and feet. And I forgot to take my boner pills to help with that. I also bought a 12v heated blanket and brought it, but I left my jump pack to power it plugged into the wall in my garage so that was useless.
COLD
In the morning Aaron went on a 10 minute rant about how people who spend more than him on vans are complete assholes and they are doing everything in life wrong and they should all be put to death for buying RV's
Then we went back to the general store for 2nd breakfast after Aly and Aaron split an entire box of pop tarts. Got some more eggs and green peppers.
Yay bikes!
After waiting at the bottom of Moose Aly for like 25 minutes for Aaron to finally show up, he went on some rant about how anyone with a full suspension or carbon bike is a complete asshole, and how tubeless tires are stupid and that the best bike to go down moose aly was a road bike. It was weird.
Man do my colors clash.
Aaron was too tired to continue on from lack of sugar, so we went to the tiki bar. I ate my packed lunch.
Then we packed up and noticed what that sound was on Aly's bike AARON
Then we drove to the Cabot Cheese factory to not take the tour.
Then we drove to the Ben and Jerry's factory to not take the tour but the courains needed a sugar fix so Aly bought coffee ice cream even though she hates coffee ice cream.
Then we drove to burlington to buy ski poles and stare at hippies.
Then we hit up a chipotle so Aaron could do lines of lemonade up his nose.
At some point Aaron proclaimed that Casa De Tortilla made better burritos than Macho Nacho and I think Adam's head exploded.
Then home.
It was a great trip. I had a great time despite Aaron being super grumpy all weekend.
But thanks for driving Aaron.
AND YOU'RE WELCOME FOR NAVIGATING ALL THE THINGS AARON
