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.

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.

You're all getting soft. Rolling Eyes

getting back to topic.. Shocked

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! Crying or Very sad

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

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