gopub2pub is my latest craze. Its a resource for travellers wishing to go between pubs with similar names.
Start with your nearest pub. Find another pub with the same or similar name, map a route, do the route and then share.
I'm doing this on my Cytronex modified Street Machine covered with a canopy of plastic bottles and I am encouraging others to follow in my footsteps. I'll be using mapmyride for route sharing.

my first attempt at a pub2pub ride was between The French Horn and a pub called The Horns. Had 2 pints at the FH and set off in a blaze of glory only to have a chainwheel failure 3 miles out forcing a return to the FH and another pint to drown my sorrows. Debbie at the FH was happy enough. John at The Horns is still waiting to see me! ...
If my pub2pub rides are all like this then I may need a subscription to the AA.

Managed to complete the "horn2horn" yesterday. Started off outside the French Horn (you don't HAVE to go in every pub!) made my way to The Horns in Crondall. 14.29 miles , 15.3 avg, 36.8 max in 55:59 mins. Did have a bit of rain but mainly dry and even some sunny spells. Celebrated my triumph in the usual way and shook hands with Landlord John and partner Judith. Plugged in on a little table outside the front door and parked the bike outside a convenient window. Great atmosphere being generated by Elvis and guests. Stayed a bit longer than planned before setting off back to the French Horn for another celebration. Could life be any better than this? I like to thank electric bikes and pubs for making my day. Now .. what next? ..."oak2oak" perhaps ..

Be careful or it could be ashes2ashes, dust2dust :D
Fortunately I'm one of those rare Welshmen who can't drink. I had 4 pints on Sunday over a period of about 5 hours and stayed in yesterday "recovering". I did manage to prepare my new "jubilee canopy" for a ride today - so not all bad.

Anyone know The White Hart, Ufford and the Hand & Heart, Peterborough? Looking for a volunteer for the "hart2hart". Volunteer will need to plan a route, do the route, hand out some leaflets/posters, take some photos, drink, etc ...
