    chat when riding if they're going under 5mph

    That's not really what happens. Everyone rides uphill at whatever pace they like, usually with a local cruising slowly at the back. The fast people get a load of chatting done at the top while the slower ones catch up. Absolutely key is that everyone recovers fully before setting off downhill, usually going like the clappers. And so on. The pub stop is time for a proper chat, beer and crisps etc.

    Beer and riding work well or I would not have ridden 10 miles to the pub last night for a swift 5 or 6 pints.I can't drive there and drink that much!!

    Well I too took on being a "real man"…
    After today ride, no beer, nope not a single one. I stayed well out of the pub.
    Instead I had a nice chicken burger a maxi coke and 2 big fries 😀

    Surely that is better right?

    I only really drink beer around christmas time. Too much makes me a fat bugger and impacts my riding too much.

    All this makes me a really exciting person 😐

    Maxi Coke? Beer is far, far more healthy and nutritious. No, it's true. Medically proven. Ask DrP.

    Beer is so last year. Few lines of coke pre-ride. Speedballs to keep going. Bit of ketamine post-ride in a tacky club full of tarts in boob tubes and cheap tracksuits.

    RIDE BIKES, DRINK BEER, EAT CAKE

    been our club motto for 18 years.

    You don't have to do it , but I certainly don't need someone preaching about it being a stupid idea.

    Not sure what Devon will make of you drinking strongbow 😳
    In fact, can you get strongbow in exeter? *ponders; student union perhaps?*

    Drinking beer and riding is STOOPID. I cant seem to seperate the two though.

    I'm currently experiencing a significant life-learning event, having come off whilst pissed on July 3 this year and breaking my right collar bone. This after coming off on July 3 last year and – yes you guessed – breaking my right collar bone.

    Two wasted summers, pain and grief from the missus.

    I very rarely ride sober (its more interesting that way in the new forest), at least not after the first hour or so, and most rides turn into a piss up. Its difficult when its only a few miles between pubs in any direction, and all your mates like boozing too. This time, however, I'm going to make a real effort to limit the boozing.

    Guess i'll have to change my user name though 😯

    drinking and riding are the perfect partners, recently at the big bike bash i got my 1st ever podium (1st place.) this was after drinking most of the day saturday/evening and then doing the nite race fairly pi$$ed…in fact it may well be my plan for future races..!

    i forgot to mention i was riding singlespeed too (for extra stw points)

    Where can I find such a wondrous place?

    When you say 'tracksuits', do you mean the velour type that Shibboleth would soil himself at the sight of? Oooh I do like a bird in one of them….

    Maybe i'll just stop the riding altogether and stick to cider drinking. Everyone keeps saying 'so are you going to give up cycling now?'

    Ah, that surely must be due to the fact that you were quaffing the quality beverages on offer, which were in fact beer-flavoured energy drinks! 😀

    Had a few Friday night, must admit I did feel a little queasy during the 'Open' race! 😳

    You might as well have a few post ride fags IMO if you're going to drink alcohol after a ride. I enjoy alcohol as much as the next guy, but I can still understand that the mixing of the two is pointless.

    i really, really hope you're not my nephew, trolling.
    couldn't manage oxbridge then?
    there's a big difference between fags and ale – mainly one works, and one doesn't.
    f**king strongbow? – the chocolate buttons of alcohol.

    I knew mentioning strongbow was going to get a load of red faced bearded fellows with woolly jumpers all angry and what not, but calm down.

    No actually, did really bad in my AS results. Anyway, riding looks crap around there lol.

    Does it have to be 'Real Ale'? Whilst being partial to a drop of good bitter myself, last sundays ride ended with 3 pints of Black Rat perry, which is fairly fruity and quite quaffable. Its all good…
    ..apart from that Magners rubbish, thats not cider!

    As I drive to all the places I ride I can't drink start after a ride 🙁 I would though if I could. I do have a few cheeky cigs though :wink:.

    Anyway, my thinks its a questions of those that cycle for pure fun and those that take it seriously, and probably take everything too seriously.

    I think I actually ride better when I'm hung over.

    Don't blokes (I know I do) have a beer or cig after doing everything.

    not so much. highly carbonated pish, is highly carbonated pish, whatever variety of alcohol you describe it as. if you like cider that's fine. i do too, from time to time. strongbow is not nice cider.

    Best hope the op doesn't end up going to an event like the real ale wobble !

    Most of my riding calender is organised around the drinking of beer.

    Oh and a bmx is a bmx not a singlespeed keep up :-))

    Realman, I like yer style, you can put up with this lot and give it back. Obviously you've touched a nerve! Mines a strongbow.

    but I certainly don't need someone preaching about it being a stupid idea.

    and yet we have to accept a constant stream of fatuous propaganda in favour of alcohol, despite it being more destructive than all the other addictive drugs put together ?

    SFB, you are absolutely correct, but you can of course, choose your own course.

    simonfbarnes

    erm, there's about a billion things that I could list that are destructive

    yes, but we waste enormous resources persecuting other drug users when alcohol is far more dangerous to everyone. I'm not saying don't take it if you must – though for the life of me I can't see the point – but let's at least stop pretending it's in any way more cool than heroin or cocaine or whatever…

    Is SFB really anti-alcohol or anti all the propaganda and "Getting pissed" culture of our f*ed up nation?
