Not a school night so having a few beers as usual. Possibly riding tomorrow. On these occasions I seem to wrestle with two thoughts

– have a few drinks and sod the ride

– take it easy and enjoy the ride

I reckon it averages about 50/50

Am I the only one who struggles with this?

never have too many that you cant ride he next day!!

Riding with a hangover or still pished is great.

You ever been to a singlespeed “race”?

Many a pizza has been baked on the sun-warmed rock at the top of the first climb of the day…

Just tucking into a nice Rioja, having sampled some of John Thatchers finest, and looking to finish the evening with something French and apple based (Armagnac)….

At 09.30 I am off for a 50+ mile off road all day ride, punctuated with stops for refreshment at public houses 😯

I hope to be sober by Wednesday….ish 😆

BB38….Drop of champagne in your armagnac… that will see you right!

Lazybike… will try that! Got a bottle in the fridge I forgot to drink the other night!

I’m very much enjoying a Bavaria Beer alcohol-free lager at the moment.

Yup

Bigbob – now that’s the way to roll!

My taste is slightly more crass. Stella and a bottle of gin with a blue stripe on it.

At ssuk I had six Stella and hit a tree didn’t even hurt. Mrs ssstu asked if I was ok actually lol 😉

That reminds me I must get I hip flask and bike mount

riding first booze 2nd,although as i’ll not need to drive at all tomorrow the hipflask will be on the bike

Lazybike…
I have just tried you recommendation!

Yummy… Is it best mixed 1 – 1 ?? 😀

I tried it as an aperitif in a restaurant…no idea on ratios, keep experimenting!

I never bother riding the next day if I’m drinking heavily – hangover + usually early and long drive to get there = crap. That only applies to non-local rides though, it’s just the drive I can’t be doing with and if there were local trails I think it’d be ok.

Sponging-machine that is the most disgusting post I’ve ever read on here.

Goes off muttering”alcohol-free beer?what’s that all about?”

I like a good drink & I also like to have a decent ride out.Can’t stand half assed rides or going out for only a few shandies.So if I’ve a ride planned I don’t drink or if I’ve got a night out then I don’t ride the next day…Simples

Ok I am home

54 miles of slog on a SS after last nights little excess! Feel great now, however the 2 pubs did help 😆

Beer and Bikes…. Yeh what the hell, you only live once – enjoy it!

Fair play BigBob…fair play
