I Like Cheap Beer















CAT SIX RACING HQ


Yeah, you read that correctly. Now I know there are a TON of cyclists out there who are crying "Oh the hypocrisy..." I like a good micro-brew from East Beageasus just as much as the next dude but let me explain my logic... Cheap beer is still BEER. The truth of the matter is I'm only going to expel it an hour later ( take a leak, in case you didn't catch that ). And, most importantly, cheap beer leaves me more money for BIKE PARTS! Now you see where I'm comin' from. This country is in a bit of a recession and your LBS could use some help. It's time to get patriotic here people and do your part to stimulate the economy. In an entirely unrelated note, ALWAYS remember to bring a mini pump and a few patches on your ride. One time I walked TWO miles in my socks (bike shoes hangin' off the drops) because I rode without flat "protection". My feet felt like someone had taken a belt sander to them! For the next three days. So tonight I rode with nothing but water bottles. No spares, patches, pump, cell phone, nothin. You guessed it. I flatted. Thank God I was only 200 yards from my house. The worst part? The clack, clack, clack of my cleats on the pavement as I walk my bike through the neighborhood dressed in full kit. I can hear the neighbors now..." Honey, there's that guy again, dressed up like a superhero, and he's taking his bike for a walk!" Oh the shame...
