First Knighthood Attempt

I’ve just done a search on ‘spreadsheet’ - a whole new topic for me to explore the postings on!

I think it’s pretty normal thing to create a spreadsheet for this kind of one-in-a-lifetime endeavours. You know, to be sure the :poop: is well sorted out.

Hehe. I think Sir Evan has a spreadsheet for each one of his once-in-a-lifetime endeavours. Sooooo many spreadsheets, lol!

How many spreadsheets does Sir Jez Pigden have? At least 5, too, I would assume. :slight_smile:

Sir Evan, I am just curious, are your spreadsheets more elaborate for each attempt as compared to the previous? Haha

Sir @emacdoug’s spreadsheets have long since attained sentience. They write themselves and whisper to him in the night.

Beeeee stuuuuuuupid
Doooooo a knighthood attempt every month this year…

This is an exact quote, verbatim. It’s like you’re in my head! :scream:

My workout playlist is the same. If anything I now ignore more of it than I used to. Lol. It’s my nutrition spreadsheet that gets more elaborate. Even that’s pretty simple, tho.

It’s more like Cap said. It calls to me when I turn on my computer. Turn off my brain, turn on my legs.

I suspect we all share a :brain: in this club.

It’s a calling. I am yet to even really plan out my nutrition plan but I kind of have an idea what to feast on on the bike this time around and what to avoid.
Those rice balls :rice_ball: ain’t going cut it this time that’s for sure. Maybe some Snicker and Mars bars might and some oat bars too.

I’m going to go for it a week from today, on April 14th. The menu for the day is:

14 Vise Grips
Attacker
Defender
There Is No Try
Nine Hammers
The Bat
Cobbler
The Wretched
Power Station
The Rookie

I’m planning to start mid-morning (I’m in the Mountain time zone), so I’ll keep you posted as the day goes on.

That’s looks deliciously enterpaining! And I especially love the addition of The Cobbler at #7. That is some real commit to suffering right there.

Serious commitment. Remember to record your efforts in some manner. Even screen shots will suffice. After you complete your quest, please complete the form in the Knighthood page. The Minions can’t be everywhere.

Thanks for the update @Justin_Litun, I had the reminder in my calendar for April 27th, so glad you came back to let us know you’ve changed it so we can come out and jeer, mock, laugh and otherwise generally be enterpained by your glorious badassedness (aka folly :wink: ).

Cobbler at #7 is bold (i.e. nutz) but following it up with The Wretched is gonna be brooootal. I’ve adjusted my calendar and hope to be able to bear witness to the untold suffering you’ve planned for yourself. Just remember, this was YOUR idea :slight_smile:

Funny, I thought about writing this exact phrase on a piece of paper and taping it to the wall in front of the bike this weekend.

Whatever it takes to get you across the line! My “Why” was the Knight’s decals so keeping an image of that firmly implanted in my brain helped get me to the finish. That and all the suffering of course, :innocent:

Hey @Justin_Litun today is the day or…

Yes indeed. I’m planning to start the festivities in about an hour and 20 minutes (10:00am local time).
