Hard Effort After A Late Night with Beer...
Equals sucking...
Drank quite a few too many Long Trail Belgian Whites...
Ate way to much pizza, a few Yodels, threw in a Zinger or two just for fun...
Woke up with a BIG belly...
Five minute climbing intervals this morning and I got to taste it all over again...
I am too old for this ****...

I quit drinking a couple years ago, but even before that I figured out that I needed to lay off the booze if I had anything strenuous to do the next day. And I would consider climbing intervals a pretty strenuous activity.......

Though, I had a late shift yesterday, started at 1:30PM. Shift ended, but I had a few beers between 5 and 6PM with my co-workers. At 10PM my shift was over and I took the bike home. I put down my fastest time ever, and I think I'll have some trouble setting a new record.

honestly, one of my favorite things to do is punish myself with an early morning wake up call and hard effort on the road after a night of too many.
later.

You must be old. I fill my bottles with New Castle and chug them while i'm climbing. I have hidden refills all over the city so I never run out while im on the road.

I feel like I can still drink a lot the night before riding hard, but I no longer have the stomach to EAT a lot the night before. I stopped eating my favorite food (pizza) the night before a hard ride.

Conversely, a six pack the night before the district crit. once fueled me to a second place - as a cat III no less.
Eat, drink and have fun.
I've heard stories of racers waking up in dumpsters, and slaying the field. That guy never rode the tour, but he wasn't far from it.

BS. On the eve of my 52nd birthday I drank way too much beer (I didn't drive home) and ate bad food all night (nachos and the like), woke up early in the morning to find a chocolate croissant with a bow on it from my wife that I consumed with a quadruple espresso. I stuffed 3 Clif bars in my jersey pocket and went out and road a solo sub-5 hour (clock time!) century. I had not intention of a sub-five hour effort, but I realized about 70 miles into the ride that it was possible so I made sure that I did it. I guess it is now called a "bucket list" item. Just HTFU.
