hanging-on in quiet desperation ...
- Location
- Kirton, Devon.
NOTE: The details for this ride can now be found as follows:

Idea was hatched earlier this year when riding the Chilterns with @theclaud. A number of rather tasty-looking boozers were spotted en-route promoting the idea of a winter/festivy pub crawl *ahem* bike ride.
The route we took was basically this:
http://cycle.travel/map/journey/30238
Excluding Wargrave as too close to the start I come up with 13 pubs en-route, however as I go along inventing rules, 2 pubs in one village is too much, so we end up with 12 pubs in the initial list.
These are as follows:
Aston - The Flower pot
Hambledon - The frog and Huntsman
Skirmet - The Frog
Fingest - The Chequers
Turville - The Bull and Butcher
Pishil - The Crown
Middle assendon - The Rainbow
Witheridge Hill - The Rainbow
Stoke Row - Crooked Billet/Cherry Tree
Exlade Street - The Highwayman
Kidmore End - The New Inn
Sonning Eye - The Flowing Spring (Playhatch)
Taking the ones that are actually by the roadside on the original route we end up with the 8 in bold with a question mark over Witheridge hill as to whether or not it was visible.
So. The rules we made at the time were:
A different beer in each Pub
One Joker which may be played when you want a Soft Drink, but only 1.
Water may be imbibed along with any volume of beer.
That makes 7 Pints .... which may be deemed not sensible, (depending on timescale of course) so we can either half the volume i.e a half of beer at each pub is an acceptable quantity along with half of water or reduce the number of pubs.
We can choose a pub as a lunchstop
The final pub has already been tested at the end of a 10 Claudine* ride as has both a selection of fine ales and fine foods and plenty bike parking.
*Claudine = Metric measurement = Miles/Pint
No date decided
No start-time decided
Thoughts?
