Manchester in May

We had a great ride last Saturday, with fine Spring weather and a great turnout of 22 riders. We rode over some great roads, rescued a runaway dog, dealt with a mysterious grey minivan, did not get rained on, and all-in-all had a really nice ride. Many thanks to Denise for putting together the ride and sharing fresh baked cookies afterwards! Hope you can all come out again this Saturday as we explore the back roads north of Manchester and Wings Mills. See you then!

Stratford Upon Avon

At HUE,

we get to visit some cool places.

One of our favorites is Stratford-Upon-Avon,

which you probably know as

"the town where Shakespeare lived."

It's true. 

Mr. Shakespeare did live in sunny Straford-Upon-Avon...

and it's easy to see why he was such an inspired person.

It's a great town sitting on the river, Avon.

Full of quaint shops, delicious ice creameries, lazy row boats floating down the river,

and even a curious little magic shop called The Creaky Cauldron...

Stratford-Upon-Avon is a place we can't wait to show you!

not the "real" mr. shakespeare, but a friendly impersonator!

Shakespeare & Anne Hathaway are buried in S-U-A's Holy Trinity Church

don't forget to grab a cadbury flake!
