Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] 100s - Rebecca Hackworth

Maybe not, but I have a friend in Prague....visits Germany all the
time...bet I could get him to send me a case...would be worth it just
to have you ride that 100 !

Ha, the name of the beer is Bishoff Pils; has a picture of a monk on 
the label.  22 years since I last drank one and I still remember it 
well.  Good luck finding it.

But, hey Tim, I'll tell you what.  Find a case of Bishoff for me, 
and I will attempt a 100 miler.  I can even tell you where you get 
it.  Anywhere near Ramstein AB, Germany, about an hour southwest of 
Frankfurt.  The Air Force, she was berry good to me.  Before the Air 
Force sent me there, I had hardly ever in my life touched a beer.  
haha.

I'm not worthy to really comment about the 100's, since I don't have 
the desire to do them.  Lots of reasons, but number one is the 
horse.  I worry too much.  50's are darn tough, and I don't remember 
one 50, when I was done, where I wanted to go out and do another 
loop.  Not a one.  And, I start hallucinating around 40 miles.  I 
start seeing naked wimmen and, some of them talk to me.  Any 100 
miler, female, who knows this would not want to ride anywhere near 
me when that sort of thing starts happening.   I see me doing a 100 
as a lonely, bleak existence (kind of like my life, lol, jk).

Plus, I've seen what some of the 100 milers look like at the end of 
their journey.  If I get in a good nap after a 50 I'm usually awake 
when ya'll come in.  It ain't a pretty sight.  I've seen some 
wimmen, who were probably prom queens in High School or College, 
look like remnants from a Steven King novel, after completing a 100 
miles on a horse.

A 100 scares the crap out of me!  I won't lie about that, it's only 
my opinion; means absolutely nothing.  But, for a case of Bishoff, I 
would make the attempt.

cya,
Howard (wondering if Tim has a current passport????)

 Howard, I know you've said before that you would never do a one 
day 100.  I bet you a case of some fine German beer you've mentioned 
you love, that you will ride a 100miler within the next few years.  
Don't give me the excuse that it's too rough on the horse.  You know 
American Spirit is capable of doing it.  If endurance=life, you will 
see that endurance eventually=100miles.  Heck, I wouldn't be 
surprised it your daughter tries a 100 next year.  You'll give in 
and at least try one, even if you never do another after that.
