Beware firstly that this not open on Sunday, ok.... it is situated, heading up from Somerton through the village and just on the left hand side as you turn to Middle Aston, the Yurt Cafe is part on a much bigger gardening operation.
The entrance in is of a gravel car park (care!), through the foyer, take your bike with you around to the left. Some excellent choices of cake, the tea was good for me, with the Coffee's looking impressive. Seating both in and out...

One for the medium & fast riders this one as it's a good 54 mile ride with some 1800 ft of climbing if you follow the route posted below. It's situated South East of us so not a normal direction we get to ride in, better to be attempted for me on a quiet windless day (rare as rocking horse S...) to enjoy, a good cafe stop.

The ride to this one can be a lumpy one with 1800 ft of ascents and >50 miler to what I suppose is now a modern atypical cafe stop, with a selection of Farm produce and other stuff! But it also has a goodly selection of tea, coffee and cakes etc, at standard pricing, pot of tea & teacake £4:20 and with both indoor & outdoor seating...
It even has a brewery on site if that's of fancy😂

http://www.pemeadandsons.co.uk/ also has a FB page too

Any one up for a ride out Friday and fancy some company?

Off to MK hospital in the morning, nothing serious so will not be around to jeer you on Keith 😂

Hi all and here are the details for the medium ride this Sunday:
Shame that the brilliant weather has departed us now, so its back to normal conditions - cloudy, 19c with a windy blow from the west! So we will be heading for Kizzies at Lower Heyford.

the plan is to head out to and through to Charlton onto Kings Sutton, Adderbury, Bloxham, Barford St Michael onward to Kizzies at 31 mls... the normal direct route home through Somerton, Tusmore, Finmere to home...

Hello John, no it's not a policy change just for this weekends club ride (step-up) would expect it to be in the 14/15 region really and will welcome any one who fancies it. As per our last ride I'm sure you'd be ok..

Guys also Please also to the club event page and tick "I'm Attending"
Thanks

See you there in the morning.... decided to not ride today

Hello to you all and the details for this Solstice Club Ride are as follows:
I'm assuming that you know that we're heading for, it's the George & Dragon at Quainton and I've planned for us to ride 26 miles to get there hopefully with plenty of time with the other rides.
Weather is looking ok as forecasted at the moment.

So we will be riding out via Gawcott, Poundon, Marsh Gibbon, Piddington, Ludgershall to Quainton. Then back through Oving, North Marsden, East Claydon onto Padbury Mill and home..

This one is situated some 30 mls North West and used in Jun 17 on route to Edgehill for OVO Women's Tour and in its self on a medium ride limit (?) I suppose but a nice little cafe with pricing much similar really to all. A good climb out of Warmington to get to it.

Love a plan PdT...

Expect to be there John

Struggling to find a Stop on the way out at the moment may have to ride to lunch stop before rather than after?
adjusted above course to stop early...

Using a rolling system and website quote is... "The roads will close shortly prior to the event passing through and will reopen once the participants of the Cycling Tour have safely passed".. it'll be more about getting and sorting our viewing point, how busy will it be? Leave a bit earlier maybe, Thoughts please?

Good, yes 9 sounds good to me so meet at the pool as usual, it's a 62 mile ride and looking to pace it around the 13-15 mph, lunch at the Warmington Herb Centre and as Malman written will look for an earlier tea Stop as well?
It's Over 4 hrs in the saddle so please fill your pockets with your favourite snacks and fill your bottles too.
so who's up for this ride to cheer the girls on?

A sample route to and from Edgehill stopping at Warmington for lunch..

Any Thoughts please ok with or not?

Looks like you've got some good local knowledge to tap into there Phil who ever redryder is?
Me I happy to do with my hardtail MTB I don't think it'll be much appreciated if I can home with another... "gravel".... bike..😂😂😂

Won't be about and enjoy the ride as this is looking like a nice route for you.
See you the follow w/e it's looking like a busy one!

Thanks for this reminder Mike and all being well I'm up for it for one
Looks like a trip the the National Herb Centre at Warmington then?

For me Phil fitting it in maybe an issue but...

a) Local events on bridleways etc. yes
For these around footpaths/bridleways: a fixed weekday evening

b) For longer trips to Cannock Chase, Thetford, and Forest of Dean etc *yes**weekends the best

Not done a lot but say i'm Intermediate level

I'm in..

Called into day with @Malman a good Stop and we're very welcomeing, no cakes available as all used up but happy with toasted fruit loaf.. a nice 20 mile to it..

Called in again with a Mid-Week ride again and only one choice of cake on offer... not the best!

Yep
