I wish I could be there!! I myself am pulling a mini-Grogan. I raced on sunday, and I am racing a 1/2IM this week. Tip one for me!! (I don’t really drink anyway, but you know what I mean.)

One more thing, don’t let the Keg bust up your foot again

Good for you E.C.! Teachers went back today to school in Clermont so…easy come easy go with the summer! Keep racing hard.

I’ll be in Clermont this weekend, and since this tiki bar place was one of your recommended eating establishments, there’s a good chance that we may be there re-fueling. I’m not much of a drinker (one drink and I’m goooone), but I’ll definitely come say hello…if I can still walk after riding the hills!

Will this be a recurring event?

KJGrog · August 2, 2005, 1:36am

Its the first one me and ST’er “Dre” have put on. Hope to have more in the future for sure. Should be a great time!

I’m down in soFL (WPB) but find myself up there occasionally. I think you should schedule another PC for Oct 22, the day before a convention I’m attending at Mickey’s House.

triguy42 · August 2, 2005, 1:48am

Nah, not on Oct 22nd, that’s the GFT!!! Make it the 23rd, as I’ll be too trashed to go on a pub crawl after an IM.

tomziebart · August 2, 2005, 2:16am

Sounds like a GREAT time - wish I could attend, but I’ll be in Michigan at Steelhead.

You might want to throw in a stop at South Lake Bicycles as I’m sure Mark would become a sponsor of this event.

I’ll donate a hat to the winner, just let me know who was the last one standing. Z

6 drinks…hmm me thinks that there should be about 10-15 places to facilitate crawling. Count me in…if i was there. Count miami79 out.

bglading · August 2, 2005, 12:12pm

Wrong weekend, Kevin, sorry mate. We’ve done a modified version of this - beer at the tiki bar, cocktails on the porch, more beer at restaurant, nightcap at the tiki bar. Then up at 6:o0 the next day to go ride some more, with a stop at the bakery. True athletes, us.

Cheers

1 drink and i’m literally legally drunk. as far as drinking goes, my endurance sucks, and i don’t care to improve it!! i think with all the workouts you gave me, i’ll be lucky if i can still walk. i will be impaired enough without liquor in my system!! i hear they have good burgers at this tiki bar place, and that is most likely what i will be re-fueling myself with.

i don’t even drink iced tea b/c the caffeine really hits me hard, so no worries!! i’ll stick to water and lemonade…=)

Don’t go soft on me KJGrog. Make this into a race.

Rule #1: The faster you run the more you have to drink.

Rule #2: Loser buys.

We need to fit swimming in here somehow. And speedos.

This should be interesting.

There are that many bars in Clermont now??

We used to eat at Gator’s when I lived down in Orlando.

KJGrog · August 2, 2005, 6:39pm

5 beers at 5 bars in 5 miles. Its stretching it by hitting the ole Rusty Fox and 8th Street Pub but we will manage to hit em all!

KJGrog · August 3, 2005, 2:11pm

KJGrog · August 4, 2005, 8:57pm

The Pubs are all down with the event…GAME ON!..in Slowtwitch terms…this is my “A” race…

KJGrog · August 4, 2005, 9:09pm
