As hinted at a few months ago I've written up how to get to my favourite East Anglian pubs by
train and bike. Since every week is beer week for me the excuse is the start of National Bike
Week. If 18 miles round trip seems further than the other side of the Moon, don't worry its a
doddle on an easy route.
Sat 14th June Ipswich Lunchtime pub ride (18 easy miles round trip) Meet outside Ipswich railway
station 11am Launch of Train-Bike-Beer web site <http://www.eminent.demon.co.uk/rides>
The Train-Bike-Beer web pages tells how to combine train and bike to get to some wonderful East
Anglian pubs. Many are within easy family cycling distance of towns as Chelmsford, Ipswich and
Sudbury. Many people don't know the quiet back lanes and how easy it is to pop eight miles down the
lanes to find a proper country pub - there are still a few hanging-on and well worth a visit.
The ride on the 14th June is a lunchtime circular tour to the Moon and Mushroom at Swilland. Meet at
Ipswich railway station at 11am (10.33 train from Colchester) then a tour via Tuddenham returning
via Claydon. There are six East Anglian beers on gravity always in superb condition with a friendly
atmosphere and good food. This is a must-visit-easy-vist pub. I call this pub the "Pearly Gates".
Suitable for any grade of cyclist but under 14s are not allowed in the pub.
* Wolf - Coyote
* Buffy's - Terrier
* Woodfordes - Wherry and Norfolk Nog
* Nethergate's - Umbel Ale
* + one which I think is another Wolf
