There you go Kingy, not too different to the old days I think. Just no Margerets, rumour has it she has started up again at a different location-not sure where?
As a newcomer to the sport and it's more obscure practices on and off the vale 5 or 6 times seems extreme enough to me, obviously too extreme for some judging by the turn out - or did it clash with something more important?
As for warning off normski, I think his choices of tee shoppe are maybe made by the class of pink rinse in attendance.
sorry dick, I will not hijack your thread again, the transport cafe at colsterworth does top breakfasts, sadly does not open sundays. _________________ Users browsing this forum: None |

Back in the day the Hardriders used to be 150 miles with 5000 feet of climbing on 100" fixed and no cafe stop, and it always rained and was a headwind all the way round.

getting back to topic..
One cafe in Henley wanted £4.80 for beans on toast last year.
It was the first time in over a decade that I had stopped at a cafe on a club run, and only took £4.00 with me.
How times have changed! _________________ 73 |

I remember the good old club run days, where you could have tea pie and a fight (with howitt) for less than 3 quid. _________________ Mr 61%

You mean you don't already? It could double up as a spare light in case your batteries go flat. |
