Event Description

The day after the Tour de France kicks off in Belgium I will be riding out to the Lobethal Bierhaus to celebrate, if anyone wants to join me in potentially getting very wet and cold you are most welcome.

My idea is that I will meet any potential fellow victims at the Tower Hotel at Magill at 9:30 am on July 1st and then make our way to Lobethal for a well earned pint (coffee if you are soft) and a bite. Then head back to the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Thebarton for another well earned pint at the end.

The ride is unsupported, social rather than speedy, probably uncomfortable and potentially a dumb idea, but just crazy enough to work - or similar. Also I am no ride leader, just an idiot who is stupid enough to want to ride into the Hills during winter.

Comment by Mr. Mapei on June 25, 2012 at 12:44: David - I agree with Carl... Hope you are ready in the spring - and we'll do it then :)

Comment by David B.o.R. on June 24, 2012 at 21:05: I'd be happy if people went on sun, I'm certainly not the ownership type. Depending on how my treatment goes, I'm hoping to be able to do this at the end of winter. So maybe a groundhog day ride ride then? I'll speak to my new specialist and see what I can get away with.

Comment by Brian Jenkins (BJ) on June 24, 2012 at 12:20: Maybe it defeats the purpose, but you could practise on part 2 for when you're fitter ... I'll watch what unfolds - might ride up via Crafers to join others in Lobethal, I travel a bit slower.

Comment by Carl Neadley on June 24, 2012 at 5:14: David, this was your brainchild and I for one think it's important that you be there. I'd rather we postpone the event until you're ready - what do the others think ?

Sorry your knee needs attention ("there-there !") - hopefully it won't be too long.......

Comment by David B.o.R. on June 24, 2012 at 2:13: Sorry guys, I have had my MRI and my follow up, I have a tear in my something or another membrane in my right knee. I'm on doctors orders to stick to moderate rides and in his opinion this doesn't count as moderate. I hope that some of you still do this. Hopefully I can try again later in the year.

Comment by Carl Neadley on June 10, 2012 at 22:09: Whatever happens you won't be slower than me on the uphills, but it's a wonderful incentive to get up the hills "quickly" - hope all works out well for you.

Comment by David B.o.R. on June 9, 2012 at 13:20: I have just come back from the drs and it is looking increasingly like I am going to need knee surgery in the near future. I'm having a MRI soon that should give me more information, but this may turn into a Spring Beer Run. Hopefully I will just be slightly slower than normal.
I'll keep you posted
