This sounds awesome and I definitely want to attend/participate. I can bring food/drinks as required so long as:

1. I can carry it on my bike
2. I don’t have to carry it for the ride to the lake

I will be there as a cyclist who is currently doping* but will be cleaned up by then. I guess this means I’ll be able to “relate” to the individuals in the movie

* – Long story short: I’m really allergic to poison ivy/oak/sumac, got a bad rash all over my legs and forearms recently, and am taking oral steroids (prednisone) to heal from it.

Oh God, I am SO SORRY! I was put on prednisone for the first time during the latter half of Freezing Saddles and it was not fun. The only silver lining was that so many others had prednisone hell stories… so bully for comrades I guess?

My way of coping has been to be pragmatic about taking it. It’s working really well to clear up my poison ivy rash, so I’m willing to get through the rest of my prescription, but I’m ready for it to be over.

While I enjoyed the extra feeling of energy at first, I’ve had a lot of issues focusing on things and have thus grown weary of it. Every night, I’ve had the feeling of being able to immediately fall asleep simultaneously with the feeling of being able to do a million more things before bed. If I haven’t gotten a good deal of physical activity during that day, it’s even worse. My doctor advised me to take a benadryl in the afternoon to help with falling asleep, and that has helped.

Ugh, the professionals make doping seem so cool, but in real life it isn’t!
