3* Brunch Ride 3*
Leader:
Sharon Bedford
Start Time:
7:15 am
Start Location:
Beacon
Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader.
Getting close to the longest day - so planning an early (7.15am) start to cycle out for a late breakfast / early brunch. Joy recently led a ride to The Pantry in Yattendon and having seen the breakfasts being served, I thought another visit was a must. I have, however, changed the route for variety. Aim is to get to The Pantry shortly after it opens at 9am. A second stop will then be at the Cantorist in Childrey where we can (hopefully) enjoy a drink in the sunshine and feel smug that we will have cycled over 70k before lunch!

Report:
Beautiful morning (warm and sunny even at 7.15am).
Quite a few familiar roads + some new ones. Also roads done in a different direction / order to normal. The only common theme was climbing, with one particular hill - Pyke's Hill near Ashampstead -that I am not keen to repeat. (According to Garmin it was 18% in places).
However our efforts were rewarded by a lovely brunch at The Pantry. The aim had been to get there for opening at 9 - and we would have achieved that if it wasn't for an unfortunate puncture on Barry's bike which he fixed quickly. We were however there by 9.08 which was fortunate because shortly after that it was full with a long queue.
Thanks to Barry and Lisa for your company and good humour when we were faced with yet another hill!!
