Beer of the Bike

Saturday, with little notice and loose plans, 13 of us met at the Art Museum to ride to Earth Bread and Brewery.  Well, 15 if you count my two little girls whom I was pulling in a trailer.

The weather was spectacular and the ride was great.  Except for the huge hill on Ridge Ave, which everyone was grumbling about.  Sorry!

Earth was great.  They let us take over the downstairs bar.  I’m really glad they finally opened up for lunch, the timing worked out perfectly.  Though they only had two of there own beers on tap, the Monkey Brain Tonic was a hoppy little lightweight that was perfect after a ride.  And the flatbreads made for a great lunch too.

We took Forbidden Drive back.  And as per usual, flats abounded.  We got scattered, and split up for the final leg of the ride.  Almost everyone made it back, with the glaring exception of Niamh, who fainted and crashed pretty badly.  Heal up Niamh!

Much thanks to Earth for accommodating is.  Stay tuned for next months ride, which will likely be to the General Lafayette Inn (again).  You may actually have the option of off road or hills again too!
