Did a lap each today of bike and run.
Both courses in good shape. Better than I am.
According to Strava, I hit 56.6 mph max speed on the Mohonk decent. : )
Woulda had a faster time, but some jackwagon pulled out of one of the few driveways on the R side of the long straightaway right in front of me.
At the Otter now for some RecoverWrongs.
The Stone House Imperial Stout is yummy.
(And packs a punch at 9% abv)
Cool, looks like your ducks are feeling pretty good!
I’ll be going around on Saturday. My wife might come along for a tour of the course.
Nice!
Yeah, I might’ve sandwiched one of those stouts around their medicore IPA 
Yum is right and I’m not a stout guy

You should have gone by him on the left. He would have crapped his pants right there at the wheel!
Sounds like we can finally institute a neutral start. We’ll have a quorum.
Hit Mexicali Blue tonite, after “rehydrating” at the Otter. HUGE fan of their blackened catfish burrito.
You were 20-something when you had your first taco?
Did you grow up under a rock or something?
PS - Saw Myron when I was finishing up my run, he was just heading out for one of his own.
He sends his regards.

Hugely talented guy. Glad to see that he’s back after his scare a few years ago. Last year when I had my 20 minute, 3 tube flat change on the dirt road at the beginning of the second bike in F1, all I kept thinking was ‘‘Myron is gonna be coming over that hill any second now!’’
Did you see his time at HITS Kingston Full? Smokin’!! at 66 years old!
Any sign of the brush fire? Heard their having a hard time containing it. Hopefully Sunday’s rain does the trick.
It really is a shame that they haven’t updated their IPA. By today’s (admittedly high) standards, it doesn’t even taste like an IPA.
Nice!

Spot on. I thought perhaps I’ve just become an IPA snob.

Wow. Sad.
Soaker on Sunday in Rockland, I really hope it’s the same 60 miles north.

I saw nor smelled no signs of this fire when I went by yesterday.
Saw that Minne was closed, but otherwise, it seemed pretty normal.

Some from Column A, some from Column B.
At the risk of blasphemy, many of the Otter’s beers are just “meh”.
The Three Pines IPA has always been just ok, at best - but considering where the IPA world has gone over the past 5-10 years, it’s now more like a slightly hoppy Anerican ale than an IPA.
Beer talk is good but how bout getting some intel on what our beloved RD will be serving?
Some Marketing Director you are

It may be heresy, but Bacchus has started making their own microbrews. Their IPA is outstanding if you like citrusy IPAs*. *
Cool … I will check it out
Wife and I have been back and forth to the Kingston/New Paltz area going on 11 years now and have only been to the Otter once. We’ve always stuck to Keegan’s for brews. I know for a long time there was nothing in the way of grub there though. I’ve actually been to Skytop (which I think is closed now) more than the Otter. Hell, what happened to Rhinebeck Brewing!!!
I’ll have to pack up a few of our CLE brews for ya’ll to sample, instead of my usual Red Bull contribution to the aid stations.
Brush fire - I thought it was from ML braking heavily on the Mohonk descent to avoid that pesky automobile that pulled out.

Sweet. Will hafta check it out.
I heart citrusy IPA’s - Ithaca Flower Power is one of my faves.
Ballast Point Sculpin (and Grapefruit Sculpin for those who want actual citrus in their IPA) are some other tasty ones.
Yeah … these were good IPAs … a couple of years ago. I guess things move slower in your new age group
