@Moderators

Could @Sea of vapours excellent map be put at the top of this thread as a sticky, please?

If so you will be rewarded with a sticky bun when our paths cross

Here's my January 1st photo from Hestercombe House in Somerset.

I was not the only cyclist who had identified this as the only local venue open on New Year's Day morning!

Only free houses

My preferred habitat in terms of boozers, so that suits well

Cock up on the catering photo front - took a pic of the view but forgot the bike & building. Too soggy for standing still outside.

@Cathryn The following link should be to a copy of your Google map which does allow adding ceafes. 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'.

Great idea, i've added a few of my local facourites

I'd like to take part in this, not least because I've been to two different cafes in the last two days, so I'll have the "challenge" rattled off by February 21 by my reckoning! I can't work out how to add a cafe to the map, but I presume it's only for cafes which have been visited as part of this challenge?
It will be 52 different cafes in the year for me as I couldn't do one a week.

You rockstar - thank you for saving me hours of googling. This map is perfect.

I think you could add cafes you know and love to help people out. I've logged some cafes that i ride to regularly but haven't been to this year.

Ah, I see, but I thought that would just duplicate the thread already existing for recommended cafe stops.

Edit my mistake, I presumed the other thread had a map, but it doesn't appear to, so no duplication.

@Sea of vapours
How do you add a cafe which doesn't come up on the Google map? (I've worked out how to put ones in which come up on Google map)
Preferably words of one syllable, imagine you are explaining it to a two year old

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.

Black coffee would do.

Hmmmmm.... errrr.... There is a marker icon, the fourth from the left at the top of the map (on my version at least). (EDIT: looks like an inverted teardrop). If you click that once, then click on the map where you want it, you can add a name and description. That ought to do it. Alternatively , you could go as far as adding the cafe as a 'new location' on Google Maps itself, but the marker will do for this really.

Right, I've added some to the map. All of which I have been to within the last year and all I would recommend (I left out the ones which weren't either any good or special). It was actually a pleasant process remembering where I'd been to and reliving the rides.

 

[DCLane]

Map updated with some around me, and I'll add more as I go. The ones on there are decent; I'll add new ones if they're OK.

And I ended up back in the same seat as 2 hours' earlier having rescued son no. 2, got utterly drenched in an unexpected cold rainstorm, and we both tried to warm up before riding home. Does that count as 'twice' in a week?

Edited: and there for a 3rd time in 24 hours on the Bank Holiday club run today. In the same seat

 

[Dogtrousers]

I've added my favourite local cafe to the map (Ide Hill) but now I wonder if I was a bit hasty.

Should I only add them if I visit them as part of this challenge (which I won't be doing as I wouldn't get very far)
