[edit] Coffee Pots

Coffee Pots

If you have time to spare midweek, there are "Coffee Pot" runs every Thursday which meet up at a designated cafe/house at 11.00am. You can choose your own route to and from the coffee stop - or you can link up with other cyclists to ride there together. A number of participants join a 'Bike Bus' to cycle in company to the coffee stop (see below).

These 'runs' are arranged by Pete Luxton who can be contacted on 01392 841 373. If you are unsure of the location of these stops please look in the Cafe List for directions.

[edit] Bike Bus

Bike Bus

Newcomers - either to cycling or to the area - may find it helpful to join a group cycling to the Thursday morning coffee stops. Each week a 'Bike Bus' runs from a range of start points to the coffee stop. The schedule for the bus is advertised in a weekly email and riders can join in at a location that suits them. The Bus runs at an easy pace and no one is ever left behind - so these rides are a useful introduction to touring cycling. If you would like to subscribe to the weekly email just send a note to the Secretary.

If we haven't arrived within 5 minutes of the above times - 
then the bus may have suffered a puncture - and I suggest you carry on regardless. 
If you are running a little late and would still like to meet the bus - 
give me a call on 07783 672 516 and  we'll see whether we can accommodate you.
