@HelenD123 - which way are you heading back?

If going straight there's The Stables at Lotherton

If keeping it flat head east to Birkin Fisheries or The Maltings / The Motorist near Sherburn-in-Elmet

I let Ride with GPS design the route and it's sent me near Lotherton. Looks like I'm doing the hilly route, and also very likely to get wet!

Ooh, rather late to the party as I've only just seen this thread (I often don't get past Touring). It sounds like the perfect challenge to get me back on the bike and putting some miles in ahead of going touring in April.

It’s the most fun ‘challenge’ I’ve ever taken part in! You’ll love it! You need to go to plenty to catch up 🤣

I tried to catch up today but we arrived too late for the new cafe at the LBS. We ended up at one in town and did about 10,000 steps so perhaps I should count it anyway. I have a couple in the bag already from walks but need a kick to get out on the bike. Here I come!

You can make your own rules! Personally, I’m happy to include all cafes I visit, whether walking, running, cycling or even just mooching round a town. Do what you fancy!

Good luck to everyone doing this challenge. I'm not attempting it as I would invevitably either fail or become so obsessed that it would start to take over my life. But it has inspired me to add cafe-hunting to my route planning and I've visited four different ones so far this year.

Catching up today with two cafés. I'll work out my running total later

Tea and pain au chocolate at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park before I set off

Ma B's in Stanley near Wakefield. Excellent omelette. Very good value. Definitely recommended.

This challenge and the option of a lift to the start got me out when the wet forecast might have put me off so thank you. I got rather wet and muddy so really must get my front mudguard re-fitted...

Noted. I'm usually about 1/4 of a mile north of here when I pass through W<>E, so I'll stop at some point in the future.

Could I go on a bizarre cafe binge ride, where I visit lots of cafes in one day (and would probably have a lot of hedge stops) or would that be considered unethical?

Unhealthy maybe but totally ethical.

Sound environmentally damaging and likely to cause localised flooding 😉
