You can't really train much for Phase III blizzard conditions...Also, after riding 56 hours or something like that, plus hundreds of
miles, I think a beer and/or a smoke is well deserved! He probably
would have went crazy if he didn't have something to relax him after
those long, cold, grueling rides. He may have overdone it a bit but
that's what happens sometimes when you meet new cool people that are
buying you drinks! Plus it just adds more to the story instead of,
"After riding X miles, then I went to bed". 🙂
I whole-heartedly concur. I would probably not drink quite so much, but
I don't feel the smoke was in any immediate way endangering
captainwelch. (except the possible long-term smoking issues)
