Do you drink and ride?


Recommended Posts

Serious question.  Use to ride with guys that needed to stop at every bar on our route, or would pack on the sled. I'll admit  ,I use to indulge, and trust me,where I live now, you would never get stopped ,not even for a snow pass check. Pathetic.

All depends where im riding....when i rode in Ontario I waited till I was done for the day....out here in sask....most warm up shacks have a full bar going most nights. :lol:

It's the same here.  Our Inwood shack ,and the elusive Elk Island shack are notorious for late night shenanigans

For the most part, no.  I might have a beer at a trailside stop, but that is a pretty rare occasion.  I've rode with people who ride for 15 miles and stop for a hour, repeat.  Not for me.  

Nowadays ,I'll have a beer at lunch.. That's about it till it's parked

back in the day that is all we did . I have not done that crap in well north of ten yrs . I wont ride with tools who cant pass a bar . I will have a beer with lunch but more times than not it will be a diet doo .

I have seen to many guys get  hurt real bad from that shit . when you are sitting there waiting for the helicopters to get to the lot it gives you pause  .

heck that is one of the reasons I started to get the fuck off the trail way to many close calls from drunk fuck sticks on those trails

What's the point of drinking and riding ?  If you cant wait til the sleds are parked for the day, you've got issue and need to go see a counselor 

if 1 drink fucks you up enough to affect your riding, you should see a doctor.

One drink doesn't do anything, so again I don't see the point. If you can't have fun, without having to drink, I'm not the one who has the problem

the worst is when we drive 18 hrs to ride . then some dipshit decides to get shit face wasted first night sleeping at 8k feet or more . ends up vomiting in his helmet the next morning . I have zero sympathy for that shit . escort out of the woods to nearest trail and wave goodbye.

I can walk to my fridge or drive 4 min to a bar when I am driving 18 hrs or more it is to ride and I want to be at my best the whole time . I am to old for the rest of the shit any more

Did the run fast to every bar  around , I was very lucky some of the other riders were not. I try not to ride on the weekends , way to much bullshit on the trails and roads + cops looking for revenue.  The second year as a fill in groomer , a drunk fool hit the drag , he was hurt , his sled was  total junk.  His drunk riding buddies got a big wake -up call, so did I.  For me never till the sled is put away for the day.

There's a trail system here near a provincial park called Birds Hill ,close to Winnipeg......fuckin shit show there. It's not the drunks, but the punks . If I didn't have mirrorson my xcr, I would have gotten smoked a few times.  All's it is there is stand up riders ,backpacks,go pros and Mohawk helmets

Exactly.  I don't drive 5+ hours to snowmodrink.  And the people I ride with are all on the same page.  I use to ride with a group that wanted to haul ass for 75 miles, stop for lunch and have 3-5 and then haul ass back and get shit faced.  Then sleep in til 10, all hung over and then not want to do shit the next day.  Fuck that BS.  Got old real quick. Started riding with Paul (Sled Solutions) and we were both on the same page as well.  He now lives up N , but does mostly off trail. Otherwise I'd still ride with him.  Glad I have found others who also share the same views on riding 100% sober.

Yeah. I did a 180 regarding riding buddies too. Only problem is I hit the sauce pretty hard when we get back lol. 

 

But I've NEVER missed a ride or went late because of late night shenanigans

some guys never ever learn . so 1 drunk I know I was there when he broke his pelvis wasted rolling way to fast . few dui latter wasted again smashed up his boat on the river at 2am drunk trying to drive with the new radar system . killed one of our friends who was passed out on back seat.

next guy never passed a bar . he stopped to piss out a few beers was trying to catch up rolling way to fast hit a divot busted his back . airlift  out he never came to on the trail . no that was not scary at all.

he still drinks like  a fish . guess what at a party last weekend he lit a mortar it did not go off so he finished his beer walked down picked it up it blew his fucking hand off . he just got out of hospital . drunken shit .

was there when a buddy's wife  was wasted trying to keep up with the guys on the river hit a ice shelf end over end . busted neck air lift out .

I was the only one not drinking at every one of theses shit shows . I have more just not as dramatic

Imo...theres nothing wrong with having a couple drinks on the trail...its no different then going out for lunch or supper and driving home.... responsible drinking is the key word.

I am ok with guys having a few beers . but I don't ride with guys that drinking is the priority any longer . hell a lot of the guys I ride with hit the sauce hard at night but can still hang or know to stay at the abin the next day .I will have a hit on a joint from time to time out in the woods but all that dose is slow me down and make me cold lol
