a world-famous institution – a rustic oasis in our beautiful countryside, a burst of character and charm in a generic retail landscape, and a warm and cosy welcome at any time of year. It’s only when you travel to other countries that you realise this isn’t the norm everywhere, and we’re lucky to have such a great pub culture. So, in this issue we’ve got some fun rides centred around amazing inns, to celebrate all that's good about riding in the UK. If, like me, you sometimes baulk at the price of a pint, just remember, if we don’t patronise these places, we can’t complain when they close for good. So, let’s make an effort to keep our pubs going – and get some decent rides in along the way!
