having a drink the night before a ride out

[Andrew_Culture]

I'm considering having a bottle of wine in my bottle cage for next year's Dun Run, and as I'll be cycling home from Dunwich I guess that counts.

On the whole though being squiffy the night before makes for a heinous ride, but that's as much to do with having to get up really early.

I usually cycle back from the pub after a couple of pints. Most of the route is an off-road cycle path and the rest is on residential roads with not much traffic.

My blue led makes everything look weird on the off-road stretch. Apart from the odd dogger I don't come across anyone else!

Having a drink the night before isn't too bad unless you are really needing to perform for some reason. FWIW most Fridays I abstain as I have a fast early ride but I have often done it after 1-2 pints and occaisionally after 3 I dare say other folk could handle more but that appears to be my limit.

Too much information.
