Tubs ‘o fun texted me about his “race” weekend a 4:45pm yesterday, nearly five hours into the event.
From: Pineapple
7 beers 3 shots of plink no riding
Let the good times roll. Or, in your case, sit. Still, pretty good work for five hours of hanging out in the desert. Two drinks an hour over five hours sounds easy till you try it. And then, you must realize our boy Pineapple can maintain that workload for hours. You just can’t do that kind of effort without a good, solid base. I can tell he didn’t slack off over the holidays, like a lot of the pretenders out there did.
Another message came in this morning. No text. The photo says it all: Glory.
Looks like someone put in some work late night. Good on ya.
I wonder what the Gnome is doing right now…

What’s the true name of Plink? Pelinko-something….
February 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I think the true name would be “nectar of the gods”… Or something to that effect.

Er, I meant what’s it called. Not “Plink” but “Pelinko…”. So I can go buy a bottle.

Pelinkovac.

Bette pic of a bottle of the lords sweet nectar here: drunkcyclist.com/a-last-ditch-effort/…#comment-26071
It’s bottled by the Mar-Salle Co., in Cleveland, Ohio.
Ah, yeah, I’ve no idea where you actually buy the stuff aside from Ohio and Minnesota.
I did a websearch once, while I had an empty bottle on the desk with me, and I couldn’t find the same stuff anywhere.

Plink can be had all over NE US, or where there’s a large Eastern European population nearby.

The Plink is a beautiful experience.
You all missed one hell of a ride.
Wish you were there.
Until next year.

By the way, I like Schlibovitz, not Pelinkovich.
Can you catch the movie reference?

Pull any laps out there, Gnomie? Give DeeJay some shoulder?

I was there to abide.
I pulled one lap on Saturday, just to see what the course was like. I never touched the bike again after that. The place was a zoo full of fun. It was too cold too. And the beer, just right.
