B-Ride

Good day, Cygnini Tribe,
The ride is heading to Stanton St John. Stanton St John is that picturesque village in Oxfordshire you've always dreamt of cycling to but have yet to get around to(unless I've taken you before). Starting from Buckingham, you will traverse the rolling countryside before ascending to this charming enclave. Renowned for its fruit farms, Stanton St John might as well hold the 'Berry Capital of Oxfordshire' title—a distinction as sought-after as 'Best Jam' at the annual village fair.

Now, let's talk historical quirks. The village church, St John the Baptist, has existed since the 13th century. That's so old; it's practically the architectural equivalent of a wise elder or Paul as we know him recounting tales of yore. So, if you're keen on a bike ride filled with idyllic views and farm-fresh fruit, Stanton St John won't disappoint. Just watch out for tractors; they're the local traffic enforcers and are not known for their patience with slow-moving cyclists.
