Totally up for more rides Rob, but I think a 40 mile round trip at 20mph average is probably a little ambitious for a casual beer ride to begin with. Apparently there was a really good turn out last week, and I think we should capitalise on that by making beers more straightforward so we get regular numbers, and we can then gauge interest for longer rides once we're more of a group.
That's not to say we shouldn't do a little blast around the city before/after, I just think some people won't be up for donning lycra for several hours and could/would be put off by group riding etiquette if it's foreign to them.
Just my two pennies.
Plus I really like the Mash Tun, and this Pelican place only seems to have four ales on tap, and judging by the picture are probably just Woodfordes/Adnams - Beers warrant exotic beers!
