Well, for those of you living in a cave, I’d like to make you aware of a little football game going down this Sunday.  We call it the Super Bowl.  And with the Super Bowl, comes Super Bowl parties which means way too much food and drink, which also means one of our worst ideas of all time is about to happen again.

Both signs point to the Super Century

There is something you can do as a preemptive strike on all of those calories.  And to all of you out there who say, “Just don’t eat any junk food or put anything into the holy temple that is your body,” I say SHUT YO’ MOUTH!  That’s just ridiculous.  I’m going to eat and drink whatever I want on Super Bowl Sunday, and no one is going to make me feel guilty about it.  After all, it’s what we do most of the time that matters, and most of the time I eat a healthy diet.  Sunday will not be one of those days, though.

Team Virtus is once again here to “help.”  It’s called the Super Century, and it is a really stupid and terribly awful idea – a virtual group trainer ride of at least 62 miles (a metric century).  Yes, I said it’s a TRAINER RIDE of 62 MILES OR MORE… INDOORS!  Want to know how it all came about last year?  Then check this out.

Super Kage giving the first annual Super Century a thumbs down.

Last year, the first annual Super Century was a taint-smashing success.  Not only did we have riders from all over the country, but we had some lunatics doing some crazy things instead of the trainer ride so we could all suffer together thousands of miles apart (check it out).  So don’t be shy.  If you want to join us, just leave us a comment below.

There aren’t any real rules.  Just hop on a trainer (borrow one if you must), and pedal for 100 kilometers.  You can even ride outside if you want to.  Or you can try to come up with an equally stupid challenge.  No idiot will be turned away.

Be sure to check us out on Facebook and Twitter for updates, photos, smack-talk, and other tomfoolery.  Last year we even had “#supercentury” trending in the St. Louis area last year.  So if you are stupid awesome and brave enough to join us in this horrible “group” ride, be sure to use the #supercentury hashtag so we can see it.  I’ve also set up a challenge on Daily Mile which you can find right here.

I’ll be starting at 6:00 AM Central Time again this year since I have to work at 11:30.  If you want to be able to “chat” with us via facebook and twitter, you should be riding sometime between 6:00 AM and 10:30 AM CDT.  I hope to be done in 4 hours or so, but we’ll see.

So… Seriously, it was one of the worst things I did last year, yet it was one of the best things I did last year (Here is my terrible blog post about it).  It’s hard to describe just how terrible and awesome it really was, so you should just join us and find out for yourself.  Yes, YOU!  And if you’re preparing for the Dirty Kanza, the OGRE or Cedar Cross, then you should DEFINITELY join us since it will not only train your legs and taint, it will train your mind!

Leave us a comment if you want to join us, if you have questions, and especially if you have any movie recommendations to help me block out the pain in my ass.
