East Midlands Rideout




Last Sunday was Father's Day, my two gave me some great reads, beer from Bewdley Brewery and another years subscription to Adventure Bike Rider. Can't wait to start the Pat Garrod book, and the long awaited Henry Cole biography too. I doubt the beer will last long though, thanks kids. 👍

So, for this Saturday, myself and Mark decided on a ride out East into Warwickshire and Northamptonshire, with a route back home via the south Cotswolds into Oxfordshire. Mark plotted a great route  on Basecamp, to include a trip through Stratford upon Avon with a stop for breakfast at Wellesbourne airfield where we met a nice chap riding a small home built cafe racer based on a Honda. I noticed the bike as we pulled up as it had 'Jonda' written on the chrome tank, obviously it turned out his name was Jon!

Brayf's  'Silverstone' route.

Later we took a ride out  Silverstone via Southam and on to Stowe stopping off at the huge National Trust property where we took a cheeky ride through the grounds, exiting on to the main road via a pedestrian gate before coming back through the Cotswolds and stopping for a shandy in the very picturesque village Kings Sutton just south of Banbury.

Our route back home picked up some great roads through Honeybourne and then Feckenham. Glorious sunshine today and wonderful scenery all the way. Great ride.
