Riding sustained only by ale. And pies and that.

[palinurus]

I'd like to give it a go in the summer. It would have to be a good long ride and the idea is that the only drink allowable would be ale. From a pub.

I'm not some real ale enthusiast type. I just worked out that if I drank only Belgian beer brewed by monks I'd get pissed and fall off.

I reckon it'd be possible to stay hydrated, and yet sober enough to ride all day.

But I haven't tried it so I can't be sure. Somewhere flat and with little traffic would be ideal to try it out. I'm thinking Norfolk.

I was doing a 70 miler a couple of summers ago... taking all day, no rush... stoped at 50, had 2 pints... those last 20 miles were murder

Mmmm sounds fun

Looking like a bad idea already. It is friday night.

Sounds like my life, only with more cycling.

I,ve done something similar on a 60th birthday walk with a pint in 6 pubs but cycling, I'm not sure. I've think I've only ever done 3 pints on a bike ride. I'm game to give it a try if you need company

Trouble is, when I think of something like this I always end up trying it.

I must learn to think of things to do which are very much more dangerous. That stops me every time.

sounds like a headache on a bike. make sure there's no hills and try and set a record!

The Essex/Suffolk border area would be a good bet. Quiet country lanes and good beer: Greene King, Tolly Cobbold, Adnams etc.

I couldn't do it.

Isn't it Hash House Harriers who do pub crawls on the run?

Whenever I do any kind of endurance event I find the letter P to be the most useful when considering food.

Porridge
Pasta
Pesto
Peanuts
Pies
Pasties
Pints
Pickled onions

The letter P is a food group all of it's own

Now wait for the P-fairy to pay you a visit when you're out riding...

Mrs rich p has been a hasher for 20 years. She knows more pubs in Sussex than I've ever been to.

Most of my riding is fuelled by pies. In fact most of my life is fuelled by pies.
