Recovery party

Every year our local bike club holds a party to celebrate the past season and prepare for the coming year. It's an evening of camaraderie especially good for those to discuss the goals or adventures they reached last year and plan for the coming. Most years this has been held at a member's home and turns out to be the largest social event of the year.

Time is spent on the success and frustrations of the racing team, competitive joking among the spandex hamsters while the advocates plot strategies for influencing the
local governments in the coming year. All done while huddled over beer provided by a local biermeister and enjoying a potluck of snacks we would not normally allow in our houses.
Prizes are awarded to those deserving and being humiliated and a feeling comfort is developed from being among those with a similar brand of insanity.
And,after a few beers,

we get fumble about for our shoes before finding our way home.
