You agree?

[Beverly]

We could even get the t-shirt (https://www.lovefred.com/shopping2.php)that goes with it:D

I like the one with "fortified with irony" on it.

[BluesDawg]

I nominate a different candidate that better exemplifies the astuteness and maturity of the 50+ forum members:

tap water

[jppe]

I need to see where it says that natural spring is located. I'm real suspicious.

[Little Darwin]

Hasn't everyone heard that bottled water should be avoided...

According to Al Gore and his comrades this is one of the major things leading to the degradation of the environment. You are supposed to do something like filter tap water... of course, you should probably filter only with locally produced biodegradable filters.

[Digital Gee]

Bunch of fuddy duddies.

[Boudicca]

Can't we have an official beer instead? Much more fun.

[Catweazle]

You agree?

Nope. Sounds a tad too OCP for me :)

[Tom Bombadil]

How about this one?

[waldowales]

As a real fred, I drink tap water from a recycled Gatorade bottle! :)

[Yen]

LOL! What will they think of next?!

[fthomas]

DG - Thanks!

What an honor! You named it after me! I'm blushing!

Watch out! :eek:
You could be about to start a war to make the Brooks vs. others, flat bar vs. drop bar, carbon vs. aluminum vs. steel, low spoke count vs. traditional wheel and upright vs. recumbent battles seem like love-ins. :D

[BCRider]

Well I vote for an official 50+ beer as well...


Also for those of you that live in areas that sell Evian water have you ever stopped and noticed what the letters for Evian spells backwards? Makes you wonder about their marketing department, eh wot? :D

Beer? I'm really just a wino with a biking problem.

I fully agree that some form of filtration and purification be used, and better it be at the bottling stage.

I find this is beneficial.

That reminds me -- at the Marin Century last August we saw a number of cyclists with a gorgeous deep red jersey with a stylized martini glass on it. The writing said: " Team Martini: The drinking group with a cycling problem."

We're thinking of a jersey with a balloon wine glass, black with a lovely deep blackberry color, that reads:
"Team Cabernet -- we wine a lot."

NOW we're getting somewhere.

Indeed my good sir... indeed. This will also ensure the old faithfull water bottle will still have its use, you can keep the tonic water in them.

Not to sure where we could keep the sliced lemon... and the ice will be problematic, but we are men of sound theory, we can solve these minor niggles... hell I suppose we could do without the ice and slice?

Being men of character, we shall force ourselves to imbibe without the usual amenities...and be the better for it.

[martianone]

a 50+ water bottle to fill with what you want (or need) ?

[Catweazle]

Those bottles have been around for ages! (http://images.google.com/images?q=whisky+hip+flask)

[maddmaxx]

Has anyone contemplated the weight savings possibilities of dehydrated water. Why...........you could carry in in a jersey pocket and not even need bottle cages on your bike. Just think of the possibilities.

[Boudicca]

Gin and tonic without ice and slice? The horrors.

Go to the back of the class immediately.

[stapfam]

The french have the ideal drink for us---"Eaue de Vie" or water of life. A good one is about 90% proof

[The Smokester]

Here's the official beer.

[geofitz13]

http://upload.pbase.com/digitalgee/image/94826313/medium.jpg

You agree?

Is this the stuff that has the metamucil and exlax additives??

[Kerlenbach]

As a real fred, I drink tap water from a recycled Gatorade bottle! :)

That is exactly what I do. I use the Gatorade sport bottles and wash em. Single use drink containers are evil.

[cranky old dude]

Here's the official beer.

"Labatt 50"

:eek: Hey You! Stay outa my 'fridge!
There were 23 bottles in there when I left for work...
there better be 23 when I get home.....:eek:

Hey. You can't count, eh? There were only 22 last I looked!!! :D

[Artkansas]

I'm glad that no one has suggested Evian. Evian spelled backwards in naivE.



My personal favorite is Kroger's own Big K Sparkling Water. Cheap and very carbonated.

Of course if you drive to Hot Springs, you can get genuine Arkansas mineral spring water for free. They have it just flowing out of the fountains. BYOB.

[Road Fan]

Can't we have an official beer instead? Much more fun.

We should do both, and add a vodka and a scotch. Whichever goes best with pie.

[Road Fan]

Neat scotch, always worked for me! well, maybe gin, too.

If you order, count me in for a couple.

Did you pick your username based on the Iceni Warrior Queen, Boudicca. If you did, I'm afraid of you already. :eek:

"She was huge of frame, terrifying of aspect, and with a harsh voice. A great mass of bright red hair fell to her knees: she wore a twisted torc, and a tunic of many colours, over which was a thick mantle, fastened by a brooch. Now she grasped a spear, to strike fear into all who watched her." Dio Cassius

[Shifty]

How about this water???

Now the name I used to know her as was Bodicea. Warrior Queen of the Ancient Britons. A hero in fact of British Folk-lore. Apparantly that was all wrong and Boudicca has appeared with a different reputation. So how Bodicea- The Good Queen of my youth- can turn into such an Ogre as Boudicca- for no apparant reason- is beyond me- Same woman but with more than one side to her

Bit like the wife when I told her I was thinking of getting a new Mountain bike.

You agree?

Looks like a flask of vodka, you need a nice brown paper bag to cover it.

[cccorlew]

I personally, at this stage of my life, insist on aged water.

[SteveE]

Bunch of fuddy duddies.
It IS the 50+ forum. What the heck do you expect?
