Ahh lovely! Yeah the Strawberry line is great, fantastic for families and stress-free riding.

Hi all, wanted to give a heads up for a really good business opportunity in my little town.
https://www.gth.net/property/rps_gth-wel210019s/bs26/axbridge/the-square/house/4-bedrooms
The tea shop is up for sale in Axbridge - we're next door to Cheddar, 30 mins from Bristol, at the foot of the Mendips. Loads of active tourism round here even in Covid times, and I reckon the tea shop would be an absolute goldmine if pivoted a bit. It's been run profitably by the current owner for several years, even though she doesn't open for breakfast or any later than mid afternoon. It's always rammed with locals, but could definitely cater to the innumerable cyclists who pass through on their way to the gorge etc as well.
It previous years it's housed a restaurant, apparently, which did well until the owner retired. There's no decent bakery round here, so that's another possibility. I reckon if you had a shelf of craft beers you could make a killing too. I'm just putting out my wish-list here, obvs.
The town itself is amazing - small but incredibly sociable, very left-leaning, and full of young parents due to the really good primary school. There's a decent pub, and another sort of pub / sort of restaurant. The other pub recently closed, sadly. My and my wife run the local community cinema, which is currently applying for a full alcohol licence, so that's another fun thing that happens when we're not covid'd up. Other than that, you're at the foot of the Mendips, with all the outside greatness that entails. Good for road riding, great for off-road. Trails at the Quantocks, Forest of Dean, Afan, Bike Park wales, Cwmcarn, etc etc all within easy striking distance.
I can honestly say that moving here is the best thing I've done, and I want more good people to move here and make it even better. -

Hey @Big_Sally - why are you calling my mate's wife a swomp (sic) donkey? Aside from being empirically untrue, that's surely one of those ad-hominem attacks you love to accuse everyone who is against you of?
Move somewhere where there's good off-road riding and it'll be problem solved! Unless you move somewhere it's incredibly muddy from october until april. Whoops.
