More Brewvet hijinx to be had! Today’s ride featured a 
short jaunt
down to Miamisburg and back. Ride selection was determined by wind direction:
this route got me a tailwind all the way home, which is much preferred over a
headwind all the way home. Well, at least for me! Plus, riding along
the river is always enjoyable, which you are for most of the way. And if
you block out that one stretch that runs next to I-75, it is certainly an enjoyable section of one of the many bike
trails found in the Miami Valley.

After my return, I grabbed a
smooth, easy drinking Founders 
All Day IPA as my recovery drink. It was one of
the first session IPAs that are now flooding the market—session IPAs are
apparently the hip beer of spring and summer 2015 since every single brewery is
putting one out—but this one still holds its own in comparison. And it comes in a fifteen
pack of cans. So I’d call that a win win, honestly. While it is a little bit watery on occasion, there is plenty of hop flavor and aroma to cover that over, along with just a touch of bitterness. In regards
to today’s post-ride drinking experience, it served its purpose perfectly: down
the hatch in nothing flat! I probably could have easily taken down a few more, but a shower and getting dinner started were more pressing concerns. Oh, and today’s ride covered 30.6 miles. I did it
all for the beer.
