    I remember cycling in one winter day with a mother of all hangovers - freezing fecking cold, ice on the roads and the bridleway (old route) was covered.

    Best cure I've ever tried - I stopped half way down and sat on a fence for a bit just enjoying the view

    Not normally recommended though, I have to say

    I recommend front suspension for hungover commuting. I find skinny road tyres are too harsh and every little vibration is amplified 10 fold by the time it gets to my head.
    Glad you had a good night.

    Nothing like a fast run in to clear your head, although I'm not a fan of the spots that develop in my vision when I'm going up a hill after a heavy night out!

    It's not bad until you've actually spewed while riding on the side of the road like I did some years back.

    I demolished 3 litres of premium vintage organic cider (7.3%) last night , the bag in the box made a nice pillow too. slept through the alarm this morning but thankfully only by 10 minutes. the ride in cleared my head nicely. bit tired now tho

    Night/afternoons with no plans are often the best times and the next days are the worst.

    Drinking on a school night is great.. the next day can hurt

    The great thing about drinking on a school night is you don't waste any of the weekend with a hangover.

    ^ This. so true, might as well waste a day on someone elses dime! :)

    In the aero industry they are starting to roll out a screen based co-ordination test to be completed at the start of each shift.

    Each worker will have a performance band assigned to him for the test, score too badly and someone will have a chat with you to make sure you're not carrying a pint from the previous evening or toting a major hangover. Score too well then someone will have a chat to make sure that you took the test yourself.

    Hopefully it will stop a few spanners being left in jet engines.......

    ........not being sanctimonious here BTW. I've shouldered a few screamers through a workday before now.

    Guilty as charged and had to do 10 miles the following morning after 6, I think, pints of cider. The riding wasn't a problem, it was the short, sharp hill that nearly saw cornflakes at the roadside :oops:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    its the random drink/drug testing in construction that scares me into not doing too many school night drinkies. go over driving limit and its bye bye job.

    Fortunately in that respect, I sit behind a desk and deal with trade customer by phone, fax and email. I don't have to talk to the public and I can do my job blindfolded. I am very lcky in some ways, but I would often much rather do something more challenging.

    We've all been there. Only had to road side chunder once though. Always find the ride home is harder than the ride in, the gradient may be a factor...
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.
