Raining here and keeping my powder dry for the weekend Cotswolds Caper.

How was it?

Got fairly busy at one point still a lot there when left at 8.00

I almost came but I was put off by the thought/memory of the last two or three terrible coffees I've had there, also I was resting my arm and saving it for riding at the weekend (hopefully).

On the drinks front though, if that doesn't change I'll start bringing my own.

The coffee there is the main reason I drink tea.

Time to report their "coffee" to the trades description people. I'm another tea only kinda person when I'm there.

I'm still owed a tea by Phil, it's only been 3 years since promised. May have to try and cash that in if the coffee is that bad.

I'm not fond of tea from most cafes so I default to coffee as it's normally a safe bet.
I think I might give the Bridge one a try instead next Thursday (unless it's raining).

Best remortgage your house if you thinking of getting a burger and coffee from there lol

Anybody thinking of going tonight or are we saving it for tomorrow

I'm keeping my powder dry until tomorrow.

Not going tonight, saving it for Jug's rideout tomorrow 🏍.

Also a parts order arrived midday so I've been in the garage all afternoon fitting a new chain & sprockets to the old girl, was going to wait until after tomorrows ride but threw caution to the wind and dived straight in.
It all went well so I'll give it a test ride in the morning to make sure it's all good ready for the ride.

Weather's looking reasonable for this Thursday, I'll be going if it stays that way as am then hors de combat bike-wise for the next couple of weeks. Anyone else fancy it?
