      40 miles, no cafe stop, ok but going straight home after the ride without having a coffee is not ok. Wouldn’t happen in Australia.

      Hi Simon. Enjoying all your videos. How did you get out to Bordeaux with your bike? I took a train journey to the Bordeaux from Edinburgh a number of years ago by train and hen cycled to Florence. Great times. Keep up the good work 🙂

      Another nice video Simon, thank you. I love the idea of a club ride which is 'touring' in nature and more suited for the older lads and lasses (whatever language they speak) and a Komoot route book? Maybe the committee does something useful on wet days. As for cycling past cafés, that's a 'Non' from moi! I think there's perhaps more than a grain of truth in the older rider having not punished himself earlier in life. Anecdotally, a few of my friends who are steaming towards 60 with me have all sorts of physical problems and they all have something in common; they were all mad keen on team sports e.g. football, rugby, hockey, etc. and all endured fairly serious knocks and twists as a result. Anyway, now that you're no doubt contemplating only riding above 18 deg and when it's not raining, I look forward to your annual Scottish video!

      Love the video Simon, but no surprise from me at the 78 year old with you. There are a few of us over 70 in the club I ride with-St Neots-the age range in the small group yesterday was 79, 77, 73 (me) 56, and 37-40 mile ride with a 16.5 mph average. We also have a member who at 80 probably does the highest weekly mileage of anyone in the club of 160 members…….
      Keep on riding and filming and I will keep on watching.

      Excellent video. Being a weather wimp I just love the idea of a club ride that doesn’t happen in the rain or when it’s less than 18 degrees.

      My cycle touring club in Bordeaux rides about 6 hours 100 km using the full day, Always a coffee stop in the morning, picnic or restaurant (winter) stop around midday followed by coffee. After a hot day sometimes a drink together before everyone goes their own way. Everybody but me is French and we all speak French together.
