We still plan to ride with our drinking friends, but would like to add a few more sobber people in the group. We are in the teays Valley area. Any one wanting to go riding can call 304-550-9770.

Congrats on your choice , as usual look foward to riding with you both again at some point . I respect anyones choice to not drink , and respect you choice to not drink on the trail .

I never drink on the trail... I will have a drink after, as long as I don't have to drive anywhere.... if I trailer to the ride and plan on going home that day, I don't even take anything (adult beverages) with me.....

and congrats on you "quit drinking"

on kicking the habit. I don't see anything non-christian about having a few beers. I think it's what you do and say to others while you drink that matters. Anyway, I have a few while on the computer at night sometimes, but I limmit myself while on the trail, and really limmit myself when I'm around others who don't drink. I never get drunk and act like an azz. I don't like it when people over do it and bother others.

I sure do like beer though, but I don't "need" it.

Just incase it matters...I had a few before this post, but all of the above statements are true.

Well said hump

Good for you & Julie

on your new adventure....I too had to quit drinking due to medical reasons and I am glad it happened that way....The lord works in mysterious ways....I drink non-alcohol beer now and there are quite a few on the market ....

To you both. To be honest here I'm a recovering alcoholic myself, I'm going on 4 yrs sober and I tell ya what, it sure was a battle the first year and now it comes easy 1 day at a time. I have nothing against people that drink and I agree with Hump there on what he said. Some people can handle there drinking but for me I could'nt. But for the riding part I don't give a rats a## if you drink or not because I no I'm having a good time for what I love doing.

Congrats and good luck with it. I very rarely drink so if you want to ride then let me know. I always come to the Wagon Wheel area with Bobby and others.

Also I ride around Mt Hope with the WV HOT ROD HIPPO.

Hope to see ya there!

Congrats on your quiting drinking...that is something that can get a really good hold on you if your not carefull.

I have a beer with my steak if we go out to eat...may have one after mowing the yard. But when we go riding for a few days then I get my drink on for sure. I do drink on the trails but slow down as soon as my bravery extends my talent. .....at night after we ride then it's game on!

I have some family members and some friends that I will not drink around, out of respect. I respect your decision and hope to see ya on the trail or at camp. I'll buy you a Coke.

I live in Hurricane and do not drink, i would like to ride (just as soon as i get mine put back together) my sons and i ride several places h and m trails and turkey creek, ivy good luck on your adventure

Thanks for all the feedback. It is an adventure. I am not saying I will never drink a beer again. I was just getting to good at it! So I decided to take a little break and make sure I was still in charge. We were able to go 9 months without any alcohol so I feel better about it. We split a 12 pack to celebrate :-) and got back on the wagon. I love riding with all of you and don't care who drinks. It's just tuff if we are the only ones not drinking because we have always drank and rode and we like it, alot!! We will be at wagon wheel for memorial day, anyone else going down?

If you are looking for actual good Christian folk to ride with there is an offroad chapter of thw WV Christian Motorcycle Association down there around the H M trails somewhere. I will see if I can find it for you. I have only had the pleasure of riding with 2 other members of the forum, Growler and Hump. Both are great guys and would do anything for you. And from what I've read that is 99% of the people on here. But it is always good to have an alcohol free environment to feel comfortable taking your family riding in. Congrats on your new commitment!

on your choice. Can ride with my wife & I anytme.

Wayne congratulations on your choice. I don't drink and would go riding riding with you anytime I get down that way.

Wayne that's real cool news. Keep up the good work & yeah there's still a few of us non drinkers around that'd be glad to ride with ya !
