I'm finishing off a bottle of Merlot that was bought for cooking the lamb dish tonight. It's pretty rank but I hate waste....hic. Might also have a 6 o'clock gin later but I need to go out to the garage first and fit a new XT mech.

Did a lap of Inners XC the morning after a mate's stag a few weeks ago.

It was grim, then OK for a bit, then ****ing grim. And then I had a strange mishap that resulted in bending a pedal axle on a rock and inserting the nose of my saddle up my bum.

I dunno how I made it down Cadon Bank without crying.

Merlot and apple pie with custard after a swift after work ride on new carbon road bike. Lovely.

I rode into work the morning after a mate's stag (this was the night I made it home safely then woke up at 3 in the morning lying on the landing with the light on). All the way in I was looking at the pavement and thinking if I fell off in the right direction I could have a nice lie down. The man himself made it in at lunchtime and his boss sent him straight back home.

I managed 10 pints and a curry the night before our first leg of the coast to coast.....55miles.
There are people on here who rode with us on that ride!
Was quite an experience

So I'd say you've got room for another 6 pints yet.

4 pints regular twice a week after riding, then ride home, sometimes via the kebab shop! 🙄

Several Mutzigs at Bar Robbo's before a bar crawl around Morzine, and then ending up in the little underground nightclub (Opera?) until closing time. When we awoke to sunshine rather than the apocalyptic downpour predicted we decided it would have been rude not to ride.

Chundering out of the gondala window wasn't a great start to the day. 😳

Once tried to ride home after 3 pints of Jaipur. Steering must have gone loose while we were in the pub.

fieldy - the lads I did the C2C with decided that Penrith needed to experience 5 pissed Geordies. We want to somewhere called Warehouse and drank vodka and red bull until about it closed at 2am I think. Then two of them decided to start wrestling in the hotel room wearing only their underpants. The next day was interesting, Hartside not too bad but Garrigill nearly killed me.

The great thing about multi-day epics - either all on bike or point to point by car and ride - is that you work up a fierce thirst, we managed to drain the Sconser Hotel of beer one evening on a MTB tour...

Dunno but I tried to double a stair set after a whole bottle of vodka, broke a couple toes and cycled 4 miles home.

"That'll hurt in the morning" doesn't cover it.

A couple pints at the Sligachan Hotel and an early night sounded like a good plan ahead of a big day in the saddle...........
.....being invited to the birthday party of the owner of the bunkhouse was not part of the plan, still drinking at 3am (necking cider from Rambo the ram's horn!) was not part of the plan.

Rode from Sligachan to Kilchoan the next day.....93, surprisingly not too bad, miles.

enigmas -

Chundering out of the gondala window wasn't a great start to the day.

😆

I've done the same in deux alpes. Quite awkward at peak time when you're crammed in like sardines and then have to endure the remainder of the ride trying to avoid eye contact.
