Getting to Know You!

Ms. Stacy sent me a PM yesterday. Got that local LBS thing covered. Hope to meet her someday. Hey, Stacy, you like pizza and beer?

But root beer is hideous and beer, if you believe Benjamin Franklin (as one must in this instance), is proof that God loves us.

P.S. Welcome new folks!

Well, I kinda figure that if it's available nationwide in the US, it doesn't really deserve to be called beer. The microbrews referred to by veloputt on the other hand... :drool:

Blasphemous words! I had a Coor's Light, yuck, after my only race this year. Geez, it never tasted soooo good. I downed it like a soda pop and I don't drink alcohol very often or very much at a time.

That's because it is basically soda pop But I'll bet it was very refreshing.

I've seen time and time again that even humdrum food tastes wonderful after a long ride. Heck, maybe I'd even enjoy a Coors Light after a ride. Especially if it was the only beer available ...

Goodness, that's quite a distance for a beer! A woman after my own heart.

Let me guess, it probably wasn't a Coor's Light ...

( pkq, you may feel free to slap me upside the head for that if and when we ever meet )
