FLAT 100 km ride from Garforth, Saturday 11th June 2022

[ColinJ]

In case we do go through Tadcaster (which would cut out the Windmill climb -YAY! ), this is the amended GPX file.

It knocks a couple of km off the total, so around 101 km.

Roast Coffee Shop, Sutton Road Tadcsster. We cross Sutton Road so VERY close to route.

Sutton Road is 54 Kms in.

That is on my amended, hill-dodging route!

How about following the amended route and taking a look at The Lemon Tree on the High St. If that doesn't suit, then continue to Roast Coffee Shop?

Oh, and do either of you have 3 bikes worth of lock? (Streetview doesn't show the RCS so I can't see if we can sit outside with the bikes.)

Happy wherever just so we can get a drink and cake/snacks !

I’ve got a cafe lock. But nothing bigger. We should be able to sort something I am sure

Roast has a veranda/outside seating

 

[Domus]

Café lock here too. Happy to follow you.....................and then whinge on here next week.

RCS it is then!

Good job that I have been training for the hills...

Not 'pan flat', unless you have a very defective pan, but not exactly mountainous!

Th Family Tree tea room and nursery, Thorpe Lane Cawood is a bit different but good.
Roast Coffee shop in Stutton is very good but often busy.

Have a great ride! I’ll be in The Lake District tomorrow so cant make it but quite fancy The Humber Bridge ride if you are organising another later this year Colin.

You can sit outside at The Family Tree so you won’t need any locks as you are almost sitting next to your bikes.

Cheers. We can take a look at the cafes in Tadcaster and see how busy they look, with the option to go on to one of the cafes in Cawood.

I hope to do the Humber Bridge ride again this year. Let's see what the rail situation is in a couple of months time.

The Lemon Tree in Tadcaster has bike locks (albeit very cheap ones) that you can pick up just inside the back door. You go through the passage way to get to the back entrance and the bike racks. Unfortunately there is no outside seating (Humphrey Smith is the landlord and won’t allow it!).

I had to look up who Humphrey Smith is... THIS is one of the first things that I found!

YIKES... saved by the label!!!

My alarm went off and I thought to myself that I must have left it set early from yesterday when I had to get up for a health check. I was about to cancel the alarm and go back to sleep when I spotted this shining out in the gloom...

GET UP... RIDE!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your ride - I'll be just north of you time-trialling south/north near Boroughbridge whilst you're around Tadcaster.
