Named so I believe simply because it is the central village of the 11 local ones in the parish. Would once have been Ruyton of the eleven towns. Apparently the only place name in the world with a Roman numeral, though I haven’t fact checked that!
Exactly that, the cafe is in the old Parish hall at the bottom of the hill in the 20 zone

Didn't like the profile of 31.8 as the centre section is fat then tapers down, also super stiff. Not a problem using riser bars but i prefer the flat constant diameter of 25.4 they have a bit of give when you pothole..... and with no bulge you have more room for hand position.
Nitto's are mostly 26mm, the one 25.4 has a 27mm drop, oddly planet X are flogging Nittos so cheaply it falls into "to cheap to be true" camp that i wonder if they are legit Nittos. Loads of 31.8 out there. Although Chop & Flop wasn't viable because of the 31.8 drops i had where channeled for cable runs. Might just push the boat out and get black Soma's as they will take bar end brake levers.
Yes, been through Ruyton XI :) funny name for a village, haven't looked into the history yet. Zipped through in the car, 20mph limit and bit of a hill, sure the Cafe was in the central bit, will consult the map book and see if i can find a back lane route :)
