Soy is harder than normal milk to work with. Max temp of 50degrees before its burnt and effectively ruined. I find almond milk easier to use. Ask if they have that, if you want your milk hotter than normal.

the 'extra hot please' kills me every day........... I don't make coffee at the temperature i do, just to spite you. Too hot and the milk burns..... aarrggggg.

Often just ignore the request and make a 'normal temperature' coffee..... no complaints :)

You WANT the extra foam? Ask for your cap to be 'dry'

Again, time for a dredge.

Anyone done any parts of the route recently? Thinking of doing Denmark to Holland part (ferries from Harwich).

Help needed!

Building up a new (to me) Swift Ultravox frame, and previous owner has rounded off the "internal-gear cable-access hatch" under the bottom bracket.

Tried tynan's epoxy tip but it didn't work- something to do the tiny size of the 2mm heads?

Had a quick try at drilling down, but either my drill bits are shit, or the bolts are titanium, but they didn't to a thing..... any suggestions?

They are only holding on a plastic guard, which will give access to route the gear cables. I guess I could just break that? then work out a later solution?

I have the Deore disk on Alex rims that came as stock with my Inbred last year..... rear needs 2 new spokes and a thorough retention (i couldn't be bothered and just bought new wheels) if you want. PM if interested.

We (Giro cafe in Esher) are organising a Surrey ride on the 27th. Leaving from Esher high-street at 10am. Probably splitting into two groups, a 2 hour and then a longer one.

Come along, the more the merrier :)

Disclaimer - this is a small (but friendly) plug of my coffee shop

Giro cycles in Esher (in sunny Surrey, on main route out to the hills) has been open a month now, we haven't killed anyone, and no one has complained about the coffee, so must all be good signs!

We do a number of drip coffees, plus the usual espresso based options, with all our organic coffee roasted by Edward at BeanBerry, and its all bloody good! Also sell a small range of bike clothing - Mission Workshop, Aether, Sportful, and carry spares. And have indoor bike parking/locks for outside racks.

Also, looking for an extra barista, so if you know someone, please shout! Open 7.30am-5.30pm every day, and till 4.30pm on Sunday.

Not too many mountains in Yamaguchi, but its really rural, which will help :)

Regarding English, everyone will have done 7 years of it at school, yet spoken English is rather low (written is much higher), but you will be ok.

Just learn the basics- hello (konichiwa) thanks (arigato) please (kudasai) and this always helps- do you speak English (eigo hanasai masuka)

Good luck, its a bloody awesome country.

James, it will be bloody humid. Really really humid. Head to the mountains!

Shorts, tshirts (dark colours that dont show up sweat might be good)... good luck

for laptops etc? yep

Hey James. Drop in with your CV and we will be in touch. We are looking for some part-time guys yeah.

And glad you liked the look of the cafe, its not all lycra clad roadies thankfully!

Further point to add.

Needs to be over 18 as will soon start selling alcohol

Newly opened cafe in Esher, called Giro, looking for a barista, either part-time or full time. Someone who rides is a plus but not a requirement.

Open 7 days a week, catering for both riders heading out to/home from Surrey, as well as Esher residents.

PM me for more information.
