For the second year running, a group of determined cyclists have taken on the challenge of cycling between all eight Deben Inns pubs in one day – completing an impressive 54-mile round trip through the Suffolk countryside.
The group first completed the challenge last year and enjoyed it so much that they decided to get back in the saddle and do it all over again!
Their route took them between The Butt & Oyster, The Maybush, The Fox Inn, The Coach & Horses, The Kings Head, Wilford Bridge, The Swan and The Ship Inn, collecting their Deben Inns Trail stamps along the way.
Of course, a Deben Inns cycling challenge wouldn’t be complete without a few refreshment stops – and after 54 miles, that final pint was certainly well deserved!
Could you take on the Deben Inns Eight-Pub Challenge?
We absolutely love seeing people finding different ways to visit all eight of our pubs, and we’d love to see more people take on the cycling challenge next year.
Whether you’re part of a cycling club, looking for a challenge with friends or simply fancy combining a day on the bike with some of Suffolk’s best countryside and pubs, it’s a brilliant way to experience the Deben Inns Trail.
You can collect a stamp at each Deben Inns pub as you make your way around the route – and there’s plenty of opportunity to stop for food, a drink or a quick rest along the way.
A huge well done to the guys for completing it for a second year. 🚴👏
Think you and your friends could complete all eight?
We’d love to hear from anyone thinking about giving it a go. Get in touch with us and start planning your own Deben Inns cycling challenge!
And to this year’s riders – we’ll see you again next year! 🍻
