Pop into gilks garage cafe on the edge of Kineton, the other day. Good food and cycle friendly.
Worth a summer club run maybe.

Re: Club runs - 13th October
Evesham is the destination of choice and the route will be something like this.
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/20064699
Weather's looking damp with a chance of mudguards and sprinkling of winter kit. If the forecast deteriorates I may change the destination but will still ride.

The A run route will be something like this
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27318679
its a rolling 66 miles route with 1 or 2 lumps, if the weathers bad then may change as some of the lanes might be a bit mucky

A rolling 65 miles and aiming for 15/16 mph average. Should be quicker on the way out, but the climbs over the Lenches and back in to Brum on the way back will keep the pace down.
