Monthly photo challenge, April 2015 – The mid ride brew/beer/food stop

An easy one this month

The rules:
Photo must be taken during April 2015
Photo must include your bike and something relating to this month’s theme.

Does it have to be mid ride?

Most of our rides involve a pub but very rarely are they “mid-ride”

Don’t get me wrong, I could be persuaded to make an exception. Just for the challenge, you understand.

I shall participate in this thread once I have left work, hit my local trails, and partaken in whatever fine local ale they have on tap.

Roll on 14.30.

Not an easy one without going into town and risking the bike being lifted by those who like shiny things that don’t belong to them 🙄 nearest pub closed recently.

Mabie House Hotel is an easy one tho 😆

However next weekend in’t Lakes/Keswick might provide chances 😉

Bregante – for the purposes of this challenge mid ride = any point between start and finish point of a ride. 🙂

I call this ‘Spot my banana’

Gothenburg, Sweden, this morning

Bikes outside in the rain.
Riders inside supping ale.

Another “spot the banana” picture.

Rode for a while, stopped for the night & then made a morning coffee before the ride back off Dartmoor….

Friday night. The rain held off just long enough for an al fresco brew!

Not me but friends of mine bumped into some geezer buying marmalade on a ride in Oxfordshire a day or two ago when enjoying a tea stop…

Thick cut?

^^excellent jar of marmalade follow up – thanks

already the 12th that’s a lot of missed challenges involving cafes/beer/food!
will be working hard on this one – meanwhile Easter hols and nothing is ever open in rural Aus’:

i’d eaten my sarnie then remembered this thread , so a Hobnob will have to do 🙂

Looks like your bike is eating the hobnob bar

^^^ it was that windy I had to jam it in the saddle rails .

Stopped at mothers on the way home. Mmmmmm orange and caraway cake

Quick bit of Kendal mintcake.

Thought I’d knock out some road miles today. For those asking themselves the question, it’s banana cake and it was bloody lovely!

extended the commute home via some hills and some singletrack and as it’s beer garden weather today i thought i’d get my baps out…

^^^worth reading for the marmalade bit – excellent stuff

The Cereberus Cafe, Half-Moon Bay, Sandringham – on weekend several thousand cyclists ride the Beach Rd, Melbourne but few go down to this cafe with its great view. The Cereberus was an armoured gun ship built in 1870 and sunk in the bay as a breakwater in the 1920’s

…..bit slack 2 pics had to move bike for a wedding party to take their pics without in

Last Saturday’s MNPR (weekend special) stopped at Stoodley Pike for a rest and drinks. Wish the weather was like that today!

There is some banana malt loaf on my stem, honest.

Last Saturday, spot the pint on the gatepost.
