Last friday night I decided to tour my city in an epic fashion, and wound up dicovering several free wine tastings, gallery openings w/ open bars, and finally, an in-store event w/open bar. :p It started to rain hard that night, so I alternated between taking shelter at the watering holes, and sloshing up some major hills w/my single speed. Thankfully, a friend saw me and I removed the quick release and bummed a ride without incident, uh, 3 wines and 4 vodka red bulls later. :beer: No penalties for such debachery here in the dirty south, but I teetered thet line between fun and recklessness pretty delicately, considering it was night and raining. Share your stories of mirth and woe, my fellow travellers, as my drinkin' n ridin' tales may end with this story. (or ,at the very least , my hangover will!) :o

The last time I drank and rode (a bicycle), the bike did not make it home with me. I found it the next day stashed in some bushes with a flat tire. Still not sure what happened. :( Not something I would make a habit of doing.

I ride home 10 miles on Fridays after a few beers from happy hour. I am usually buzzing some, but not bad. At least if you are riding a bike drunk you will only kill yourself!
