Pie shops that I know and love

[vernon]

Here's three likely candidates from the forthcoming, yet to be organised, 100km pie ride.

Weegmans of Otley

Appleton's of Ripon

Johnson's of Thirsk

And a preview of one of the products:

I think it's still going (in Reading). Home of some rather exotic pies.

Ok the pies look good.But answer me a question,which bike did you ride the blue one outside Appleton's or the black one outside Johnson's.And i am going to try and get two of my mates to do your ride.Might even see if Chris next door but one fancies it.I want to do a special ride this year as i am celebrating 25 years of cycling.
I took up cycling during 1987 whilst i was going through a divorce.

Neither. It was the orange Dave Yates' Randonneur resting in my garage.

I could be there for the ride, Vernon, depending on pace.

I expect Stanforths in Skipton is a bit off-route?

 

[vernon]

No pie shop is off limits as yet though Skipton will bring down the pie shop per kilometer ratio. The pace will be gentle. Anyone wanting to get a DIY Audax 100km award has a 10 hour time limit. Further pie research is on the cards.

You ever tried Smiths bakery in Castleton (Nr Rochdale) famous for the late bernard manning visiting most weeks to get his pies, they do a good pork pie by all accounts

 

[DiddlyDodds]

I cant think of a better ride than Pie shop crawl , its got to be a must.
