This is my favourite post ride pub even though it's still a ten mile ride home from it.

The Cider House.
Full when there's about 20 people in there.
Populated by red nosed farmers, doors so low you have to duck to get in and cider that's strong enough to melt your mind.

Oh and they sometimes cook up a few pheasants for everyone in the ovens at the side of the stove. 😀

Fat bikes in Duddington?

You must have been mud surfing in Wakerley Woods.

**** knows where we went. We were shown round by the two lads in the pic.
Started and finished in Stamford via about 30 miles of tracks and a short bit of waymarked stuff.

To add one more (more occasional) post ride pub on our Wednesdays to the ones posted by scandal42:

There is nothing like a nice pint of ale after a bike ride. Be it a mid-summer thirst-quencher or a mid-winter fire-huddler. Accompanied by a bag of crisps, some big talk about the ride just passed, ambitious away day plans for the future and then just talking bollocks and piss-taking.

+1 for the Hampshire Bowman, and mine is a Swift One or two! Best pub in the area. If in Winchester then it is the Hyde Tavern.

[url= http://www.themagnetfreehouse.co.uk/ ]The Magnet Freehouse[/url] - Never less than 15 cask beers, about £2.50 - £3 a pint. We used to stop here for a quick pint after a ride, now we just go for a ride as an excuse to go to the pub, and pub time nearly always exceeds the ride time.

the ley arms in kenn. nearly 2km fast, fun downhill on the way there, gives a nice flourish to the end of the ride. open fires, landlords who don't mind bikes indoors, or muddy arses, well kept ale, good food for those who are cheating.

The mighty Nova in Brizzle - beer, food, view of the woods.

The Crown at Churchill / Hunters Lodge at Priddy, when on Mendip*.

(*Depending on which side).

My other local trails have the Stair Inn, not a bad pub, better fire than the village inn, usually a couple of decent ales too. 10 mile ride home though!.

Fave pubs are:
Colliers Arms - Nr Elland/Brighouse - £2.08 for a pint of 4.5% "Taddy" lager.
Drop Inn - Elland - Really nice local pub
Barge & Barrel - Elland - Usually a nice young lady behind the bar and nice beers

Accompanied by a bag of crisps, some big talk about the ride just passed, ambitious away day plans for the future and then just talking bollocks and piss-taking

Totally agree, this happens even when I'm on my own!
