Any thoughts before I...a. fall out with him ; b. complain to Giant ; c. be in bother with Mrs Bother:o
Clean it and dry it off after each ride in the rain and re-lube...Quote:

Not many rides for me at the moment, as 'small-childs' on half-term for 3 weeks!!:eek:
So, they're more or less limited to riding to work & back (via a longer route)
It's still the best value eatery around surely??Quote:

We used to call in on every ride out that way, even if only for a pot of tea (eating in there, then heading out up Norwood Edge, or back via East Chevin wouldn't have been nice..........)
- we'd also end up at 'Buffers' ('Back o t'Hill'??) cafe at Storiths too -
Digressing Slightly;
I was browsing the 'Ilkley Harriers' site earlier (for details of their 'Trail Race' in May), & noticed this topic.

I'll have to watch out for their members at the Cyclo-Crosses

It's certainly the cheapest cafe any of our cycling lads have been to - Blind Beck At Horton In Ribblesdale probably comes second but the menu is quite restrictive there. I enjoyed fish fingers (4) chips (plenty) and beans (loads) washed down with 2 pint mugs of tea for £2.60. Going back a few years you used to get your drink thrown in if you bought a meal but I guess that's the recession for you :D
