Should a Sunday ride (of over 60 miles) begin with a cafe stop?

    A 60 mile ride may begin or end with a cafe stop.

    It may not have a cafe stop half way.

    That is two 30 mile rides.
    Is the gorilla tired yet?

    Rick speaks an element of truth. I met a lot of folks whilst playing football over the years and a few I'm still in touch to this to day despite having stopped it many years ago, there were some who I had good nights out with after games at weekends but subsequently slipped by when the boots were hung up and a lot who once we were all showered after the game I really didn't have a lot to talk about with. Many different shades of people make up the world.

    I will concede cycling is a bit different however, you can ride your bike solo but if fancy a decent came of 11-side then obviously you have to be prepared to mix with others.

    Precisely my point. Cyclists, phht.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Café stop should be mid-ride for me.

    No cafe stop = training run. A training run should never have a cafe stop.
    A cafe run by definition must have a cafe stop. Both can end in the pub. :wink:

      I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes this.

      Porridge and self brewed espresso/s at home… then bog!!
      Then a stop halfway round…which can be replicated if the 1st stop served sh1t coffee and NO cake choices like we discovered yesterday!!!

      Flan - you don't have to run this club thing for much longer; let it go to the dogs. They'll miss you when you are gone.
