...but what's that got to do with beer?
Fargin!?
Why aren't you doing the tours? If you can do over 40 at a bit over resting heart rate then imagine how easy you'd do rolling around behind lance and his buddies.
Riding, I rekon I could hold 160 bpm for about 200 meters. I just can't hold a mid HR on the flats for any length of time. I think I need stronger legs.
My appologies about taking things OT with bike talk. back to the beer. I spent a month in Greece in my younger days drinking a ton of Amstel. I thought it was the nectar of the gods at the time. Years later they bought it out here and it was crap. Still don't know if the stuff is just different over here to over there, or if I was just agog with the beautiful wimin and history over there so everything in life seemed beautiful. Guess I need to go back to find out.
