A late lunch! Monday 2 May 2011

Keen cycling friends Deborah and David from Staffordshire met me in Shrewsbury and I decided to take them on a favourite ride - Route 81 (most of the way) from my house and back via The Royal Hill pub in Pentre which is a lovely spot for lunch. We cycled the 10 miles there (actually did a few more as we were chatting and I missed the turning!) only to find that they do not serve food on Mondays (not even Bank Holiday Mondays!). A well deserved pint of beer and we cycled to the next pub - they had finished serving food for the day - on again to the next pub (didn't really like the look of it). Finally we reached a very nice pub, had a lovely lunch and drinks at about 4pm and cycled the remaining 8 miles back. A total of 24 miles. (Must remember to take some photographs on the next trip).
