Well it was a negative award, or so I was told by a faculty member of the Sufferlandria University mathematics department.

Waitasekkund, don’t 2 negatives make a donut?

A negative and a positive make a doughnut. How do you think the torus got its hole?

According to legend…a donut by any other name would taste as sweet.

Okay, so with all this Couchlanrian Infiltration, I may need to SHOUT TO BE HEARD ABOVE THE NOISE OF ALL THOSE DONUTS BEING EATEN AND WAHOOBEEDOOBEEDOO POINTS BEING EXCHANGED!!!
[cough] - Ahem -
So, as I was saying…
I have received a few very generous donations and am now less than $300 away from my original goal. If I can receive enough additional donations to push me over my $1,500 goal, that will trigger my third level of shenanigans.
What is this third level of shenanigans you ask? That is a great question! Thank you for asking. But first, let’s review my current shenanigans.
Shenanigans Level 1 ($800): Current & Vintage Fight Club Back-to-back on Stage 3
Shenanigans Level 2 ($1,000): Add Kitchen Sink to Stage 7
And so… what will my shenanigan be when I reach level 3? #SUFRhymes
Shenanigans Level 3 ($1,500): A full month of Nine Hammers!! And not just 31 videos for a total of a minimum of 279 hammers!! That’s a LOT of hammers. Annnnddd… as a twist, The Chores, The Tool Shed (mash-up), The Shovel and Blender will thrown in on the weekends to make sure all the implements are included.
Shenanigans Level 4 ($2,000): Hey you, Couchlandrian! This is still a sooper sekret shenanigan! No peeking!
Shenanigans Level 5 ($2,500): Back-up sooper classified tahp sekret shenanigan! Stahhhp all your snooping you sneaky sneeker!
So, are you ready for this? Can you make it happen?

I hate 80s music (and I remember the 80s)…is this some Counchlandrian torture trick. This will not work. Has @Glen.Coutts been recruited by the CIA (Couchlandrian Intelligence Agency) to disrupt the Tour?

Level 3 is INSANE!! I’d expect nothing less from you, Sir, but, in all seriousness, you really need help (I won’t give you any, of course, but you really REALLY need it)
I figured it was a trap but I do like a good trap, and, speaking of traps, while not officially a donut, the walnut crunch is a pretty good substitute

I did not like the 80’s but I DO love the music. I have multiple 80’s playlists saved. But that’s probably because I was younger and more malleable. Electronic music is also my favorite music - tho I have very wide and eclectic music tastes.

speaking of Couchlandrian Intelligence, look what our friends at Rondo came up with!! And I quote: “you can produce PERFECT DONUTS donuts in a fully automated process and in virtually any shape”

Well Dame Lisa convinced me to do it. I’m going to do the two longest stages today so that I can do the shorter ones during the week after my bike commute (39 miles on an ebike, so not a ton of load but I’m time limited).
Team Scream done. First time doing that one. Whoo that’s fun and I got a lifetime hour power PR!

perhaps you’d like to share a pic of a workout graph to the Shenanigans committee?

I honestly have a great shenanigan planned if I do hit $2,000 in donations. You won’t want to miss it.
Still pondering if my bad idea for Level 5 is as bad as I think it is. But that’s a problem for future me.

Oh yeah absolutely

Recovery session is cleaning all the bikes (except the one on the trainer) before lunch and another trainer session.

Now THAT was a trap. But WOW! Nice job, Sir Richard!
From the official rules
Can I post graphs of the data from my rides in the SYSTM Forum?
We far prefer that you post pictures of you doing the workout. We’re all doing the stages, we all know the route profiles and we all know how the data looks. We’re already proud of you for doing the stage and we really don’t want to see your data. But if you really insist on boring everyone to tears, then go ahead and post your graphs BUT YOU MUST:
- Make your post funny
- Donate an additional $10 to the Davis Phinney Foundation

I wonder what that machine costs. What kind of trick would @emacdoug do to get enough contributions to to buy one? If we did would @Glen.Coutts ever seen his trainer again?

Well who else wants to contribute…we need some more Sufferlandrian love.

Personal foul, Sir Glen. Graph fine rescinded from Sir Richie and re-assessed to you.
@richie_engineer As you are a newcomer to the Tour (and a lack of posting of the official rules), I apologize for the conduct of Sir Glen. Everyone is doing the same workout and graphs with numbers (power/HR/cadence/etc) have historically been ‘forbidden’ in order to keep it from becoming an ego driven event.
