Place your bets now!!!....
Its 2:34 in the moring here in scotchland and im a tad (ridiculously and violently) drunk. I intend to go out on a ride tomorrow morning- I really want to go out. The question is, Will I? I shall post tomorrow afternoon and let you know whether I hauled my drunk a$$ out of bed or if I just succumbed to the demons of the hangover and vegetated til noon.... in the meantime, place your bets folks.

Pedal that alcohol out, mate. You'll feel better. I vote yes.

Pedal your lycra-clad butt through Leith in the morning. That'll sober you up, it should provide good entertainment for the locals and it'll be some incentive to crank it up to 400 watts.
Good luck--let us know how it goes, should you live through it.
Cheers.

Curiously, I decided to toss in the teetotaler towel and have at a bottle of vino this evening. I also know that I need at least 2 days off to let my sorry old legs recover from the sober pounding they've been taking. Why not, then, pound another hapless body part into submission this evening?
Therefore...I expect you'll disappoint me and wake up dead tomorrow. Well meaning and all, but stone cold and buriable. No, wait! You'll rise from the almost dead and buried and grind out a painful metric century with occasional offloadings of oatmeal and 12 year old single malt.

so.....
I woke up this morining, actually i say "woke up" but i mean that at one point I had enough will power to move an eyelid. I hauled my back side out of bed at 1030, stumbled about for a bit before grumbling and swearing about never drinking again. So at this point there was no chance of me going out on a ride, But then my girlfriend says this-
"y'know, you can actually see all the beer you drank on that belly youre getting and its not attractive"
34 lycra blurred seconds later and im out the door (still grumbling and swearing about the booze) but I get in a short 1 hour cycle, 28km, enough to sweat a bit of booze off and appease my lady.
Now if you'll excuse me Im off to crack open a beer and watch the rugby.....
Why do we do this to ourselves?
PS Thanks for the faith from the 4 guys who said Id go fulll distance today but I dont think you appreciated just how drunk i was!!??

jim,
Nothing like the ole woman commenting about the beer gut to get you motivated huh? My wife says I don't have one, but I notice it when I'm down in the drops and my legs hit up against my stomach. Either it's too big or I'm too low. And the part of the roadie pledge is that you can never be too low.
