This evening’s ride: 1:23:10 Distance 20.37 miles Average: 89 RPM

I’m not sure if I should count this as one ride or two. I rode out to a neighboring town to pick up a book I had left at my daughter’s guitar teacher’s house. My plan was to ride out, pick up the book, and ride back. But when I arrived, he knocked me off my bike, dragged me into his back yard, and poured some sort of foul liquid down my throat. The fiend! I barely escaped. It was only my quick thinking that saved me.*

I’ve never ridden my bike after drinking a beer. It’s an interesting experience. Have you ever seen those commercials for Red Bull, that say “Red Bull give you wings?” Perhaps the Victory Brewing Company should make one that says “Hop Devil numbs your quadriceps.” But only for a little while. Ow.

I had planned on riding this morning–I had the day off from work, so I was going to ride a little later–but just as I was heading out the door I got a call. From a lady. Long story short, tomorrow I’ll be heading out to Bath, NY to help with a chicken barbecueue. It may be more  interesting than it sounds. Stay tuned.

*I finished the beer, said, ‘Well I gotta go. Thanks for the beer!’ and left. Okay, so it wasn’t all that quick. And it wasn’t really thinking. Shut up.
