The coffee stop for this Sunday's ride is The George & Dragon at Quainton (20 miles). I was going to(and still can) stop at Stratton Audley Barn at about 30 miles but think we will arrive before it opens at 11 am if we ride at our usual 16+mph average. Perhaps you can let me know what you think.

The route will be Buckingham, Gawcott, Lenborough, Padbury, Steeple Claydon, Middle Claydon, East Claydon, Winslow, Granborough, North Marston, Oving, Whitchurch, Pitchcott, Quainton (20 miles), Edgcott, Marsh Gibbon, Stratton Audley (30 miles), Fringford, Cottisford, Evenly, Mixbury, Shalstone, Chackmore, Buckingham.

Look forward to seeing you there,

Situated between Great Brickhill and Heath and Reach (not to be confused with Treetops cafe). Nice stop in lovely surroundings. Plenty of seating inside and out. A few cakes on offer but lots of bacon which most of today's riders had. Good large mug of tea or excellent Italian coffee. Bruno, the owner made us very welcome.

This Sunday we will be heading to Rushmere Country Park (Stockgrove entrance cafe).

We will go via Padbury, Thornborough, Thornton, Beachampton, Calverton, Whaddon, Mursley, Drayton Parslow, Stoke Hammond, Gt Brickhill to our stop around 27 miles. Then back home via Heath and Reach, Soulbury, Stewkley, Mursley, Swanbourne, Winslow, Verney Junction, Lenborough and Gawcott.

Ten of us set off this morning heading to a very busy George and Dragon at Quainton - Malcolm, John G, Adam, Phil, Anton, Paul W, James, Julian and John (sorry, don't know your last name) and myself. Adam left us at Gt Horwood. Latter John left us at Quainton finding the going a bit tough after a month off and a fast ride yesterday (hope you made it home safely and your legs recover soon. Once again the wind added an extra challenge to our ride but the very welcome sunshine more than made up for it. As usual the food and service was excellent at the G&D. Thanks to everyone for the company.

Popped in to investigate a couple of weeks ago. The menu is not as varied as some of our other stops but has everything we need- hot and cold drinks, bacon and eggs etc. The setting is beautiful with plenty of seating inside and out. It is situated a couple of miles from Brill so would be good for those looking for some decent hills.

Hope to see you all there.

Sorry Paul, I can't make it now. Hope you all have a good ride.

Monday ride sounds good.

This looks fun. Going to do it with my son. Thanks for posting it on here.

I rode through Stratton Audley this afternoon and noticed a recently opened coffee shop "Stratton Audley Barn". Looks nice on their website. Maybe a possibility for a new coffee stop. I will try to force myself to call in and check it out.

BBC weather forecast looks more promising now. Drop of rain never hurt anyone though :). Count me in regardless.

Hope you make a speedy recovery Chris.

Didn't take long to long to arrive at the decision...Turbo today!!

Hi Phil, I'm up for a ride but obviously will make a decision in the morning. My mobile is 07715 977634. Guy
