Actually, Guys (that means you too, Technogirl), I am not part of a biking club. I just arrange tours/rides with friends and future friends. Maybe I should be be in a biking club, but ah well.

Our whole company is going to be off for a week in early summer, so I am trying to organize a bike tour for my department. So far, though, it is pretty skinny on the takers, so I might open it up to other departments.

I managed to score some very nice free lodging for us at the destination. There would be enough room for my department, but not the other departments, so I am in a quandry.

Anyway, BEER; oh that is the stuff after a hard ride. It must be the food value of the beer that makes it so good after a ride. I always drink plenty of water first before beer so that I quench my thirst first and then ENJOY a slow beer. Like Oscar says, you drink it for taste and enjoyment, and try to avoid getting buzzed.
