Ok, CB, you and I have clashed before, but I think we've put that behind us. I'd comment on this no matter who posted, so don't take it personal. In SoCal, nearly evert MTB group ride I went on (weekly rides, not charity rides) ended at a Mexican restaurant. If it was Baja Fresh, no beer. But any other restaurant that served alcohol, most riders had a beer or margarita. I don't think anyone ever had a 2nd drink though. Just an observation.
On the other side of the coin, (and globe) when I ride with Aussies, who are known for their love of a good drink, we usually stop for a cuppa, which is either coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. Go figure.
