That's why I love riding the towpath regardless of how slow the gravel makes me roll, I seem to pass a bar through every town the towpath rides through. I could very well bar hop, but there's like 30 miles in between towns that I'd be afraid after a couple stops I'd lose my vision and end up off the trail On the other hand, I have stopped at this one bar with my former riding partner a couple times and each time neither one of us had to pay for a drink. I figure it must be the bikes because when I used to stop in once in awhile on my drive home from work and no one ever offered to buy me one.

Something to think about OP, though please drink responsibly.
