From FaceBook:

The ten pub ride follows in the gallant footsteps of Ty and Steve's brave efforts one Thursday night, during which I had the fortune to randomly witness the tail end of their mission. (See http://www.tydomin.com/1/post/2009/10/ten-pubs-ride.html for more details.)

Anyone thinking of riding must agree to the rules of engagement, to wit:
1 You must have a bike.
2 You must be proficient at riding same.
3 You must be able to hold your liquor.
4 You must be able to hold your liquor and ride.
6 One drink per establishment. No exceptions until the end. At the Phoenix. Where it always ends.

Convene at The Front at 1pm. Once we have some semblance of a group, we'll have our first drink, and then repair directly to the George Harcourt Inn. Further cycling and chaos to follow, ending at the Phoenix.

And so Ten Pub Ride version 2.0 was.

The first beer went down quite well as we sat on the couches out the front of The Front, the weather was picture perfect and it was promising to be a great day of riding. We headed on an indirect route to the George Harcourt Inn, the reason being that I wanted to take the scenic and most picturesque route. Upon arrival we found that a lot of other people thought the George was a good place for a Sunday arvo get together. The live music started to get to us so we promptly downed our Speckled Hen and were on our way to the Old Canberra Inn.

The highway was the most direct route and we literally flew back into town, ten minutes later we were seated and devouring Rech's from the tap. Then it was through the traffic and onto Trinity Bar where Kirin was the flavour of the day. Next stop was a new one to me, Wilbur's in Hackett. A surprising new bar/cafe situated in the suburban shop, with Little Creatures Bright Ale on tap! we were off to Edgars next for some Squires then we made a deviation to our plan and purchased some beer for consumption in Carroboree Park, supposedly a popular watering hole for Ainslie youth on any Friday or Saturday night.

On the homeward stretch we made our way into civic to enjoy German beer and pizza at Debacle followed by Rumpole Pale Ale at the Wig & Pen. Our final stop was sensational, the Phoenix pumping with live music. Far too many beers for a Sunday night were then devoured while enjoying beats before we sampled the finest kebabs next door and headed our own separate ways.

A big thanks to Eddy for puting the ride together.
 

The following SMS exchange occured late in the morning the next day:

Eddy - You going to work today? I'm c*nted. Just on the bus, but presently trying to decide whether it would be worse if I went to this thing looking like I prolly do, or worse pissing my boss off and blowing it off. Cloudy the future is.

Me - Too late, been here staring at my computer trying to look alive for a couple of hours. In the coffee line now, hope it makes a difference........
