I was a bit surprised to read in the “on the rock” section of The Vine, the Wheel Happy ad encouraging bikers to participate in “Thirsty Thursday” bike and brew tour ($50) from Edgartown, along scenic State Beach to Offshore Ale Company in Oak Bluffs for some craft beer, then return to Edgartown, along scenic State Beach to Bad Martha Farmer’s Brewery for more craft beer. Really? And in August? Maybe it’s me, but it seems like common sense is on a permanent vacation.
