Nice picture, Chat!

Yesterday an awfully large amount of Guinness was drunk in the UK - someone's birthday perhaps!?!

Did we miss Gary Glitter's birthday again???!!!

Darn!


And was there an equal amount of Harp drunk too? If I have to drink Guiness I prefer it in the 'black and tan' variety

Sadly, the stuff we get in GB is not the same as that in the Republic of Ireland Fact.

I'll attest that my favorite brew (Redhook ESB) is very different when poured from a bottle vs a keg. And you can't beat getting a pint at the brewery (they're on the trail I bicycle on - I usually do a 30 mile ride, with a stop at the brewery on the way home to put the calories back in my system).

Uhh, BJ, I am so glad you do that! It just shows you are looking after your...uhhh..body!

The trail is very flat - but after the beer (and a sandwich) it feels like every inch is uphill!

Long as it's the trail that's falt and not the beer!

12 miles to the brewery, 18 to get home? A little erratic riding and directional problems on the way home?

Is that trail an old railroad right-of-way?

Jab - I start riding a couple of miles before those pics and ride around the park a while And, the brewery isn't *on* the trail - I have to divert a little to get to/from it! So that's 14 miles each way on the trail, + 2 more in the park and, let's say 1/2 for the brewery. You're worse than my high school math teacher (your answer might be right, but how did you get to it?)

Dave - I don't think this one does - it follows a small river and is very twisty. Our 'Interurban' trail does follow an old trolley line, at least the part where I live.
