Well, the US stores are selling Christmas decor in October (at latest) so being a few weeks early on Octoberfest beer is excusable, I guess, but I was surprised to see it this early. BTW the store I bought it from is already sold out and not expecting more according to the clerk there. I bought the last of it.
I've found it best to just not let Octoberfest end and have a continuous celebration... With no more dates to remember, I can concentrate on the more important details.
I also enjoy sharing meals around workouts, but I try to keep balance so I recover well after rides. I’ve been checking out BetterMe’s wellness program, and it offers structured plans for nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness that make it easier to enjoy food and still stay on track.
