Hey Sharpie,
I just followed that link you posted in your last over, wtf happened there it just died out, I think the brewery was the mistake, I bet there a millions of foccers world wide pissed as farts not being able to find their keys or worse still their bike or just laying under a hedge somewhere fast asleep out side the brewery. :rollin
Well off you go then, go and do the challenge, it does get left for a while sometimes and it can be amended by the challenge setter it it proves too hard, I tried come up with something that everyone could do, townies and country folk alike, there must be 100s of brewery's around

As far as I know the nearest brewery to me is the Heineken factory in Amsterdam ?? or maybe one of the cider places down in Cornwall? Either way I can't find one locally.
As for getting out and riding, I'm in the same boat as most of you in the sense I ride it to work and back but rarely anywhere else. I try and get out for pleasure rides as often as I can but that usually equates to once a month a nd never more than 80mile or so trips ?
I think it's more down to how much passion you have left to get out there and ride for the sake of it. I mean I've never gone and got in the car just to go for a drive but I often leave for work an hour early just to trawl the country try roads before I get there.
It also depends where you are as to how much inspiration you have to get out there. I live at the end of a motorway (m180) with nothing but the sea to the north and west and 1 route south (A46) so new riding options are very limited. I do envy some of you guys that live near the valleys of Wales of on the edge of the lake district etc etc
I've been riding round my area for 4 years now and You can only ride the same routes so many times before boredom sets in then you either give up or keep trying to go faster and neither of them options end well haha
