  • So it looks like from the Spotted thread that there are enough people up for a coffee ride. I suggest that we pick a Saturday (maybe 1st December?) and decide if we want to do a lot of riding between venues (i.e. big loops out of and into the city) or just lots of drinking with quick rides between cafes.

    I would suggest The Little Red Roaster (either market of café), The Window Coffee, Mustard and Strangers. All these are in the city and relatively close together so anyone has any other places they want to go post them up and we’ll try to come up with a route.

  • Sounds good, I'm in. 1st December works for me

  • Definitely in

  • Ok 1st Dec

  • In!

    Some light chatty riding between cafes sounds good.

  • Any suggestions on times? Bearing in mind the likes of the Window closes around 3pm i think.

  • ^ Was thinking of a 10am start and putting the Window in early on.

  • I have a hairdressers appointment at 10. Maybe 10:45 and I can leave straight from there.

  • Ok, wouldn't want to be seen riding with a scruff :)

  • I'd be up for this if I can get back for it, but isn't there a danger it'll just be 4-5 miles with 4-5 coffees? I'd be jittery as hell.

  • Jittery after 4/5 coffees? HTFU man!

    Seriously though, we can extend the riding a bit by taking circuitous routes to each cafe or you can skip a drink in each cafe.

  • is the double espresso a hard rule? i am more impartial to a macchiato myself...

  • Nah, whatever you fancy. The Roaster has some Guatamalen Cup of Excellence coming in soon and some Buf Cafe has just arrived. If that is there when we are I may have that thought the aeropress. Definitely in the top 5 of my best coffee list that one.

  • Damn got a party Saturday day - which I really can't skip.

    Can we do another one again soon?

  • Im happy to make it a regular thing - maybe every other saturday or something like that.

  • It would be a good place for everyone to meet - even if we met for coffee then did a group ride - something like that?

  • OK, the plan for Saturday is; meet at the Forum at 10.45am.

    From there, a quick ride to The Window, then a longer ride though the city (probably along the the river) to The Little Red Roaster on Grove Road.

    A loop out through the Golden Triangle and in again to take us to Strangers and then a short hop to Mustard if we still need more coffee and aren't totally hyper by then.

  • Might be good later on to do a Norfolk coffee ride so you've actually got some distance to cover ? Holt has a nice shop.

  • Good idea although I've had coffee there and it is rubbish. Cake is very nice though!

  • Anyone planning to do any winter coast rides?

    Well up for this.

  • I am in but the problem being that i only am rocking a fgfs bike atm, with 42x18 gearing. Comfortable as hell, but extremely spinny.

  • Fgfs?

  • Fixed gear fosters sipper?
