Coffee Stop Ride

The day progressed slowly at the start (what Sunday shouldn't?) and at a sociable hour, noticing the sun shining brightly outside, I announced that a bike ride was in order. Kids, we ought to make the most of the mild weather. Autumn is marching onwards, so who'd like to join me? Beloved was keen to remain at home and progress her exercise on the er.. exercise bike, but with the exception of Master H's enthusiastic YES (he'd be in the seat on the back of my bike), I could have been excused for thinking I'd asked the girls to sit and watch paint dry in the local library.

Oh well Master H, it looks like its going to be just us boys. Lets get the bike rack on the back of the car and head off the to reservoir. We'll stop on the path at the café for coffee and cake before returning. 

Suffice it to say, this aspect of the ride hadn't been foreseen and came as unexpected news to the girls, who both experienced a sudden u-turn in their attitude towards cycling on this sunny day.
