No room at the Inn!

Sunday the 17th

As Fairoaks aerodrome is in an area little trodden by C&M I thought a trip further West would be a change. Going West of Camberly and through Sandhurst we skirted Bracknell just touching the edge of Wokingham. Finally reaching our lunch destination the Jack O'Newbury pub at Binfield only to be told by the landlord that there was no room for 6 weary cyclists! (Graham had his sandwiches) The Garden was completely empty and the Sun was out and we offered to sit outside but no we were turned away!

Luckily there was a much more amenable pub (The Stag & Hounds) at the junction of Tilehurst lane and Forest road. Our hunger abeited and our thirst quenched we set off for tea through Moss End, Maidens Green, the peanut and and the delightful views in Windsor Great park and the welcome descent of Crimp Hill to tea at Windsor farm shop.

Jeff having only sampled the soup for lunch feasted on pasty, cake and cappuccino to fuel his long ride home. Ed was headed for Weatherspoons in Staines for his tea.

The weather was generally on our side, windy at times with only one stop to shelter under trees and a generally sunny afternoon. 74 miles for me and most likely the shortest of the group.
