i was talking to co-workers. we all live smack dab in the middle of Sonoma WINE country, and we all drink beer more. one guy said Santa Rosa is the Craft Beer capital of the USA. i had to Google it. i'm shocked even knowing that there is a craft beer spot everywhere, (or a tap-house)..BUT IT IS!!
i live near the best MTN biking park in the area. Annadel Park. i ride from my house to the park, pedal around..then pedal home. sometimes, i take a 100-yard detour and hit a bike shop/tap-house. i roll my bike in, hook it on a wall right next to the workers for their watchful eyes..and order a beer for my sweaty ass.. if my bike is acting janky..get a quick adjust, maybe get new brake pads..
i dont know what linked Mountain biking and Beer so strongly together, but it just works. everyone talking about the route they chose for the day..the debate about E-bikes..the discussion about the Lululemon wearing girl joggers for the day.. it is the best of times in my neighborhood. i'm usually drinking a beer ONLY if i rode for the day. either way..its a great payoff. i ride alot, or i dont drink beer.
i'm about to donate my wine fridge.
