Beer Social. With bikes

I've been kicking around the idea of hosting occasional social rides showcasing the new trails we've been building, with the added incentive that we start/stop from a local beer establishment. Saturday I beta tested with a couple friends (even got gravitythief out of hibernation!)

We started in downtown Matthews, rode to Purser Hulsey for a couple laps, and rode back to Temple Mojo for a couple pints. It seemed to be a hit, so look for rides posted semi-regularly in the near future. Saturday afternoon or Monday after work will be most likely to avoid other rides.

Sign me up.

Do you trek your MTN bikes on the street for that, or switch rigs?

Beer and mountain bikes in the same sentence?  That's just pure craziness! 🍻👍

Put me down to host one at BYT/PRP.  The bridge connecting the two sides is rocking and rolling, very close proximity to Brawleys or Montford via neighborhood roads.

Sounds good! Purser and 277 are also on the list. I'm sure it would work well for others.

You guys actually mountain bike and DONT drink beer before, during, and after? What in the literal F?!?

I blame plus bikes, 11spd drive trains, and Michelob Ultra... 

As a rule, rides here dont get started until at least 3 IPAs are finished

That reminds me of the hop drop and roll tallboy you chugged before your final Beatty lap!  I thought for sure we were going to see that one again before the black diamond was over 😊
