"DDSR Drinking Team," I know, I know, it sounds worse than it really is! This past weekend, several members of the DDSR Ski Team were at the "Dark Horse Saloon," at Terry Peak discussing our normal Wednesday late afternoon meetup. Most of you probably don't know, but we've been getting together on Wednesdays for a couple of beers on the way home from work. We talk about skiing right now, but usually comes back around to something about bikes.
This all started pretty innocently, but has grown a little over the past months. A little history; basically the founding member of this group is Pauly. Now that he lives in Lead, he comes to Rapid City on Wednesdays to work at the office. Sometime around 4pm he leads us to a beer drinking establishment. He's a bad influence. Anyway, with his permission, I told him I'd write this up so others could follow and enjoy. Most times we go to Dakota Point Brewery, but not always. We often talk about Lost Cabin Brewery, but usually decide it's too noisy. Sometimes we go downtown to the Independent Ale House. You just never know until Pauly decides!
Since the Team has started, it's been Pauly, Mike, and I, but now, Stacy and Pete have also joined us. So everyone is invited to join us on Wednesdays. I know were meeting tomorrow afternoon, but I don't know exactly where! Pauly will decide! Anyone wants to join us tomorrow call or text one of us.
So maybe in the future, we'll post something on this thread to let you know when and where.

Dave, your killing me. I miss out on the dual sport riding in your back yard, I miss out on the skiing, I miss out on the Saturday morning breakfast, and no I'm missing out on the drinking team get togethers. Its more than I can take.
I plan to be there to absorb the infinite wisdom of the group.. or something like that?
Where is the spot tonight? Might stop in to say hello.

Considering this was our first official DDSR Drinking Team gathering, it was a good turn out. Lots of fun and noise.
We had eight people show up. Danny Boy was still in town, and was jovial as always, so he added a lot of fun. But, the big surprise of the night was Wacked! Now I was happy to see Brad, but the big deal is he had a beer. Just "one", but a beer! :o That's a start! Apparently, that particular beer was almost gluten free. Who would have known.
As usual, it was great time. Hope to see others in the future. LD
Sorry I had to skip out early, but the young one was home and I had a dinner date.
Pauly is out of town (Oregon) this week. So Mike and I are planning on meeting at Dakota Point Brewery on Wednesday. Mike gets off earlier than I, he should be there about 4:30 pm. I'll be there around 5pm. Everyone is welcome.
Hope to see ya there!
Won't be there for Wednesday but I may be up for a ski Saturday or Sunday
I'll be a little late so probably 5:00 for me too
I have successfully returned from the West Coast...Dakota Point Wed! See ya all there!
Sorry missed it last week. Won't make it this week either. I'll be soaking up some sun in the desert
Pete might need a break from the dogs, so he's a maybe this week.

maybe I should tone it down a bit...
Someone has to bring the excitement! :D
Great turn out tonight. Think there was 8 people there.
I do believe a good time was had by all....
It is almost Wed......Almost Time for Beer! Dakota Point again! :cheers
Right on! I'll be there.
I may be....
Sent from my BND-L24 using Tapatalk
there is a 99.5678% chance I will be there as well.
SO YOUR SAYIN THERES A CHANCE! :chug
LOL.... and I'm almost as bright as the guy you quoted!
I will not be in town Wed, I will be in town Thursday this week instead so I will see anyone that can go then....then.
well then, I'll reset my beerometer for Thursday and see you then, then...
Works for me.
Got the Forecast from the National Beer Service......It is calling for a 100% chance of Beer....1-2 Possible, 3 in some areas... Dakota Point seems to be the place that will be hit hardest by this event...
I'll be there
That's a good forecast!
It is Wed, See you at the Point.
I plan on getting to the point.
We are on Point tonight...

I'll be there, most likely on a motorcycle.
Wow, DDSR drinking team, DDSR ski team carrying skis, and DDSR motorcycle. Wow!
It should be warm enough this weekend to strap your ski's to the bike...Does that then make it a Triple Threat instead of a Dual Sport?
It is Wed again...I am here and there will be beer...
Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk
Hooray Beer! and I'm checking the weather before I leave home this week. ;)
I will be there
Sent from my BND-L24 using Tapatalk
I will not be there this week. My company has put a full travel ban in place and don't want me going in to the office. So for at least this week you will have to go it without me.
Sad times indeed.
I'm self quarantining, during office hours anyway.

So last night another forum I'm on did a virtual happy hour. They used the zoom app and I have to admit it was pretty fun. Maybe give it a try ?
I like this idea!
Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk
Me too
Sent from my BND-L24 using Tapatalk
its pretty simple, either download the app to a mobile device or follow the link on the invite to install on a laptop (takes about 20 seconds) and you're all set. we would just need a moderator to send the invites via e-mail and we would be good to go.
This sounds fun. Will get the app downloaded so you can watch
me enjoy Shivers beer I'm my underware.
My wife and I just did one of these for family scattered over four states Friday evening, about 30 of us. It was fun and good to see healthy faces on the other end.
When did people from Nebr start wearing under ware?
NDave glad to see your still kicking. Even if it took my poor spelling ability to bring you out.
Hope all is well in North Dakota.
Here is the information for the First Virtual Drinking Team Meeting! We will see how this goes.

Thanks for setting this up Paul, it's gonna be great!
downloading this now. I'm gonna have to stop by the adult beverage depot.
Edit:
Maybe I missed it...as its late. But just got back from a repair call of a failed sump pump.
Damn, I missed it. Did it work?
Worked really good after I figured out I didn't have my video on
and nobody bothered to tell me for some reason..
Next time I guess...Mark thanks for the reminder to check that for the next time.
yes, Mark it was much better when we could see you! you would think someone would have mentioned it???
all i na ll it was a big success IMO
I think it went very well! It was nice to see Hank pop in even for a few mins! Next week we will see who shows up!
Yeah that was fun, although brief for me. Was a good excuse to open up a dusty bottle of Jameson on a wed. too!
I will try to join in next week.
OK I have set this as a recurring meeting, so every week will use the same meeting :) See you all tonight!

Guess I'll see you all Next week. Taking my dad to look at a car. Not sure he needs it but he doesn't complain when I drag him along with me to get another bike.
Cheers..
Does the start of weeknight ride league signal the layoff of Wed chats?
Asking for a friend...
We have still been having them..And I think it shall continue, Maybe we could move it if the Wed Woods League would like to join again. We can look at options or just keep rolling along!
Ok.
I took a short ride wed night out here. Like the virtual meetings...in lieu of the long trek...
still doing an update to let me in the meeting...
Joel and I are on if ya get it loaded
Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk
Internet was slower than Dans tonight. just got it all done
maybe someone looted the signal? next week...I suppose.
Will be on tonight!
Dan is out here, So we will spark up the old computer and jump on the chat around the usual time tonight! If anyone else is looking to jump on the Zooooom!
I'll try to stop in.
6pm CT?
That is the normal time! I try to jump on about 530cst just in case!
Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk
restart again after supper...got a fail when I tried earlier.
I am not in the Big City today, So I will be jumping on the chat!
I believe we should form a scouting party ASAP:

I believe you are correct this warrants a Scouting Party....Have to make sure it is good enough for the rest of them. When we goin?
Whenever works for you. Just let me know.
Zoom has increased their security. I have setup a password on the zoom meeting and it will be ddsr!
So next online meet?
Wed's I usually jump on around 4 Mountain Time. I also set the chat to being able to access without a host. So if I am not there the chat can still be accessed by anyone that wants to start it!
Sounds good.
Even great.
Hey everybody, there's a group meeting today at Dakota Point around 4:15pm
Come on and join us.
Will be there at 4:15ish

I have to run into town to turn in my key at the office in Rapid today. So I will be in town. Probably at the Point round 4-4:15 tonight!
I have a little office party at work, but I may be there shortly after 5:15-5:30ish if you are still around?
Oh I would believe I would still be there ;) :chug

The chat will be alive this evening..I hear it is a little chilly outside...
I wanted to stop in, but I was already drinking beer at the shop. If someone buys beer, it's rude to turn it down!
very true Dave, proper beer drinking etiquette is appreciated.
The chat will be on tonight. Will be discussing skiing this eeekend. The plan is Sat Sun Mon

Tonight, Dakota Point @ 4:45ish for those interested in tall tales, beer, and bench racing. ;D
Well played Brad, well played! I did manage to escape unharmed but I may never be able to show my face there again.
Yea - that went off better than I expected .... Sorry :evil
I suppose I can expect harder than average "Trail Beatings" come this spring?
Not that I would hold a grudge. But, there are a few trails I've been wanting to check out. ;) ;D ;D
In light of this new information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Beer_Day_(United_States)
I will be at Dakota Point at 4:48 "ish" to celebrate, hope to see you there!
I will be there after being Shot
I'm sure beer will help the recovery.
I plan on makin the trip down the hill on Wednesday. :cheers :chug
I think Wednesday night single track season has begun so I won't make it. but have one for me ;) ;D
You know these things can be moved to Thursday night?
huh, never thought of that?? good idea
After looking at my schedule, And moving around lots of important and highly serious meetings. I found time that I can come down on Thursday night. So now Mike....Just try not to break Brad to badly...at least leave him a hand to hold a beer. ;D
Don't give BoneCrusher any ideas!!!

Dan just got rid of the wheelchair lift in his new van, otherwise I would say we would have a way to get him there also.
I think I'm in for Thursday afternoon.
I'm wandering around checking out the site and I find a 10 page drinking thread.

drug back from the brink of wherever threads go to die. weather is crappy so how about Dakota point tomorrow (Thursday) 4:45ish if anyone is interested. I think there will be at least one person other than me there?
I plan on it! Healed up, I'm back to driving and drinking! Not sure that sounded right?
I knew I could count on you Dave!
Dang it! Still snotting my brains out. Sure you guys don't want this. It can't be killed with beer or whiskey.
Guess I'll sit home and miss out.
There you are, you're alive! I've been wondering where you've been. Haven't seen ya all summer.
