Up-date Oct18: it changed owners some time back - for me sadly a bit of a rip-of pricing wise, certainly of my radar now.
————————————————————————————————-
Can't believe this one missing from our listing..

Small Cafe down by the canal & railway, enter the wharfe yard and behind the wooden screening through the corridor, yes you can push your bike through to the canal side garden.

Good food and service with a smile and don't forget to say hello to Dave!

phone: 01869 340348, http://www.oxfordshire-narrowboats.co.uk/kizzies-bistro.html

plus there are some good routes to and from, see one example in the route database

Note that is not open mid-week during the winter.. there has been a couple of occasions when it's been closed so worth that ring ahead for any planned ride, ok.

Well we finally got this ride completed, 6 guys came out to play with me today... Alister, Phil, Jeff, James T, Paul T & Malcolm, all went well with just one puncture to sort, me olde repair kit can I handy😂 a Paul.. so out a little longer as a result but no harm done. Two of the many great Cafe stops we use put to great use especially to warm us up and fuel as well. Thinking cap on now for the next longer run 🚵🤔

Well boys & girls finally the weather is going to let us get this 80 mile GF done, looking to be dry but cold so wrap up warm!
Usual rant from me! Yes we are stopping twice but please have a good breakfast and load up with your favourite fruits and bars plus drinks.
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday morning 👍🚵👍🤗🚵

A late call... weather cold and dry with a promise of sunshine... the winds telling me to head for the forest.. anyone out there fancy it?

From the Mitre again and decide we're to then , thinking cap on!

On no... not again...
looking most likely that this ride, if the weather forecast is to be believed will not happen, so will try again next week 27th. Hope that is will be ok..

I can't get out until around 10am but is anyone up for a ride-out on Friday?
Weather forecast is looking ok 👌
Route t.b.a...

What a pleasure to be out there riding today, just a beautiful day that was ah..
7 out for this one Malcolm, Nik, Guy, Stephanie, Nigel, James T plus me to a great stop at Upper Stowe and back.. had to take diversion on way home at the Biddlesdon dip (Westbury side) as the road was closed with the Air Ambulance in attendance for a fallen rider, crap road surface that section, all of us Swans back safe and sound, were told that the guy was not to bad, new helmet required!

We will be heading north again this week heading for Upper Stowe for our stop..

so out to Chackmore to start this one then onto Lillingstone Lovell, Paulesbury, Blisworth, Bugbrooke, Upper Stowe (27 mls) for tea... then back via Farthingstone, Blakesley, Wappenham, Syresham along the Welsh Lane to Stowe and home..

Going to go with the 20th as detailed... weather permitting...
IF poor weather then try the 27th... if....
We will get this done....

Any problem team for any one (?) with dropping this event to the 27th??

Certainly was a cold morning today with that north wind to contend with. Set off with 5 and added one at Silverstone a dropout from the fast group back to the bosom of the medium group😂. Paul S and me with Guy, James T, Nigel (new) with Laurent made it to Tea stop at Harley's. Last 5 mls to the stop was a slow pace affair as Laurent picked up a knee injury so stayed for a pickup. Wind a help on way home as the paced pickup a bit, a nice route this through the N'ants countryside and tea stop, thanks guys..🚵

Always Phil see you in the morning.

Rolling-out at 9am firstly Silverstone way to start this Sundays medium pace ride and heading for Harley Equestrian at Woodford Halse for our stop this week, its Northants so a nice rolling terrain to keep us warm for a forecasted cool autumn morning... See you Sunday..
