Thursday Club ride - 16th July 2026
Starting from Whatton | 44 miles | 1900ft elevation | Cafe stop: Coffee Barn Buckminster




By popular request, here is the missing ride report from yesterday’s ride to The Coffee Barn at Buckminster.
We left Whatton as one group and (new phrase for me) “tapped it out” in the direction of Harby – the hill loomed large and it was agreed we would let natural selection dictate the groups formation going forward from that point.
Glorious sunshine and a stiff breeze both helped and hindered as usual.
Service wasn’t quite as good as usual at the cafe with some long waits for drinks & food. Still a firm summer favourite tho.
To summarise (as I’m off to the pub) it was another great turnout with everyone working together as usual.
I promised on Brownies honour not to mention any wardrobe malfunctions so I won’t 
Thank you to Jackie Swann for the route.
