Beer night before a long bike ride.

No, I can agree with that. I later found I out, if I was caught by the police, I could have been done for drink driving!

I'm only saying it's not a good idea because I have done it before (albeit not in the UK) and I've still got the scars to prove it.

Now you've thought about it, it will definately make a psychological difference .

Just make sure you are nice and hydrated before your ride and you'll be fine.

Where's your ride? It's been ages since my last long ride =(

I'm cycling from Selby near York to Masham near the Yorkshire dale, at 4500ft of ascent it's pretty easy and quite a mixed rather than hilly 120 mile ride. I did 116 miles on Tuesday.

Some rides we usually go up to Tan Hill, they're between 140 and 160 miles.


I like Wales for hills, Manchester Wheelers do some rides there and it's pretty hilly, there is this 33% hill near abergele or w/e it's called and that's a fun climb
