Was finally able to get out on a ride over the weekend with some mates that I've been trying to sort for about 2 years that I call the Compass Point Brewery Tour. Basic idea is to hit 8 brewery taps on a rough 8 point compass of London. It's tricky in some places as there just isn't a big selection of breweries that brew on site and have a taproom open so had to sub in some taprooms in places. My original ride that I planned and rode a while ago was all over the place and was pretty tough to get around with a group so I planned a compact one this time around and it was great fun. Turned out to be 58km overall and was out for almost 10 hours, with only 3:36 hours of that being riding. Was fortunate that most of the places were quite quiet so we were served quick and able to sit outside with our bikes without any hassle. Started at Boxcar in Bethnal Green at 12 when they opened then went on to 40ft in Dalston, Two Tribes in Kings Cross, Wolfpack in Kilburn, Prairie Fire BBQ Taproom in White City, Sambrooks in Wandsworth, Bullfinch in Herne Hill and then finished up in Fourpure Taproom in Bermondsey. Have thought about running it as a forum ride some time with some different places to mix it up. Will see if I can ever be bothered.
