52 cafes in 52 weeks - challenge

[cougie uk]

Having not much to do I googled local Macdonald's. We have 108 within easy striking distance of home. Two are 30 miles away, 23 are less than 10 miles. I reckon I could do all 108 in a month.

😂

Does depend where you live.
Now cycling to 52 cafés that I actually want to go to is a trickier task.
I love finding a new cycling cafe but 52 is a big ask.

Have fun though !

Living in Glasgow I could probably do 52 cafés in one day - an espresso shot in each, imagine how fast I'd be going by the end of it!

I'm up for this including vans but just one example each of chains (largely to support more independents & if Greggs etc count then I am doing takeaway kebab shops etc) with a slight codicil - 52 within 52 weeks rather than 1 per week.
Don't mind MBIFO but I have a moral objection to taking pics of my tucker.
Do pubs count?

Do pubs count?

Only free houses; otherwise it needs to be the same rules as for chain cafes, ie only one of each.

I started my 10kg weightloss challenge yesterday.

I am pleased to say that I can decline this cafe challenge But it does sound like fun.

I don't stop on most of my rides so I probably wouldn't do it - but I think it is a great idea

Edit - Maybe one a month for me would be good.

I've not been able to reply for some reason, there was no reply button on my phone.

@Cathryn suggested this; it's a brilliant idea and I think I'm going for it.

I flipping LOVE how many people are in on this fun NY Resolution!!

Personally, I'm not committing to riding my bike to all of them. I work full time so that is unrealistic - I may well run, hike or cycle to most of them but I might just stop at a few during a car ride and that's fine too. I do like the idea of only going to ONE Starbucks/Costa/Greggs etc so it's not a succession of chains!

I tried to get started on my ride yesterday but all the cafes were closed except one down a giant hill (which would have entailed going UP the hill on the way home). Gutted.

So...I THINK I've created a map we can all contribute to, adding our favourite cafes - either the ones we know and love or the ones we visit as we go. I've not created a collaborative map before, so could someone have a go at using it and let me know if I've done it correctly?

I can rattle off a dozen within a 10 mile radius of home and most of those are on the high street at Yarm!

Once Omicron dies down I might try and cycle to a different cafe each week and do a few hours agile work, meetings permitting.

That's another great idea.

I can see the map with some of your favourite cafes on it, but I'm not having any success adding any more.

Am I missing something?

That's what I wondered. Okay, thanks for letting me know - I'm out this pm but will try and figure it out this afternoon.

First one done:

@Cathryn The following link should be to a copy of your Google map which does allow adding cafes. People can either use this one (I've added your cafes and text to it), or I think you can probably modify yours by using the 'Share on Drive' button under 'Share' and then setting the options to 'Anyone with this link can edit'.

This is all looking to become great fun! I'm planning my first few destinations already.

Thanks, that works for me!
