Wahoos - Foothill Ranch? (Portola and Glenn Ranch?)

Beer does taste its best right after a great day on the mountain, river or even golf course. Last week, for the first time in my life, I had a beer right after surfing. Wow!

That's another reason I don't get the bitter beer craze ("I only drink IBU 60 or above..."). I don't like beer that makes me thirsty as I am drinking it.

 

[konakc]

Yup..mexican food... mex beer

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Because we are men (and some are women).

Nothing like a two-beer post-ride buzz... and it tastes good too.

In absence of beer... I’ve consumed serious gallonage of chocolate milk and root beer while bikepacking.

Best recovery drink ever! People often ask me what I drink after a ride and I tell them usually just a beer. Then they ask what about a big ride and I respond with two beers!

Any of you guys know TwoBeerJoe over in AZ?

I don't care fore the over-hopped ales either. Lower alcohol content post ride is good for me as well. 4.2-4.5%. I've been enjoying Czech pilsners this summer which are pretty light by West Coast IPA standards!

There's a reason the Germans call it Flüssiges Brot!

Liquid bread. Probably better than Tailwind.

That can give you a good buzz as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergot#Effects_on_humans_and_other_mammals

 

[sir crashalot]

Well, I like margaritas. And Manischevitz

 

[SnakeCharmer]

It's hot enough that I will be enjoying a beer later today when all the honey-do's are done.

Why does it have to be after a bike ride?! This was last night...after a spin on the crutches. Watching my peeps detail my daughters ‘new to her’ Subaru. My oldest took this pic ..he thinks I’m a nut

For a minute, I thought you crashed on your driveway! Phew!

 

[mountaingirl sara]

Sacrilege!

 

[Faust29]

Sacrilege!

As one of the early adopters who talked @Mikie into trying Tailwind, I get some leeway! A long long time ago, @Mikie swore we were all crazy with our liquid food.

Nope, I drank that beer AFTER my trek down to the shop, otherwise......you may have assessed correctly

Oh really!? Well thanks Steve..I love the stuff

Yeah, I got to give Steve that. However.... 2 scoops of Naked in a pitcher of 805 and you are well on your way to brew recovery. Prevents hangover’s too!
(I’m pretty confident that Tailwind is thrilled I’m not their spokesman)

 

[Mikie]

Yard sale!

Ha ha ha ha. Damaged goods.
I say that with tremendous love....

 

[mountaingirl sara]

I know...looking like a redneck

Lol, no offense taken

 

[Mikie]

Lol, no offense taken

Yeah, right? Like who am I to talk!

 

[mountaingirl sara]

True!
Hey, when can you get mobile again..on a bike I mean?
