By: FarrbottBikes and Beer, it's just right isn't it? This is a tour of the breweries on my 'both bridges' route, 7 of them (and counting). This will be a tastetastic afternoon of beer sampling. Halfway we can get coffee and eat if you want too at the Quay, Lower Lonsdale while we sample in the Greenleaf Brewery. Only drink within your limit to ensure your safety on the road and the safety of the group. As always, it's your decision, you ride at your own risk. I'm not your mom 😉 Approximately a 27km 'slow ride'. https://www.facebook.com/events/712606342184932/Read comments and more
