52 cafes in 52 weeks - challenge

That place looks so cool! How was the coffee?

Pretty good actually, milk a little thin on the flat white. Had the Belgian waffle.
The interior is interesting too.

I've added a few cafés to the map (mostly East Anglia).

I actually visited another café / bakery first on the way out on the cyclepath from Cambridge.
Dulcedo at Eddington. Excellent pastries, cakes, bread and coffee. Oh hot chocolate too!
They double wrapped the apricot and almond iced bun for transportation integrity
Saw a great sunrise.

I was at Honeystreet around 9.15am soon after it opened on my own. It was just a nice bimble around on my Bike Friday. toasted tea cake and back home.

Out of the blocks. The cafe at Fairlands, Stevenage. No-one needs to see my lunch...

Preston, Lancashire area - out on the Guild Wheel today, I decided to go up to Broughton and have a bimble around there before coming back via Lidl. About 50 yards off the Guild Wheel path - opposite a main bus stop - there's a lovely little cafe which is a local enterprise with just one paid employee and volunteer help. Called the Tollbar Cottage Cafe, its on the old A6 and is owned by the Broughton Parish Council with the help of Lottery funding. It opened in October last year and is open from 10am - 2pm Monday to Saturday, they hope to take on a couple more paid employees and extend the hours as the year advances. There is indoor seating - with huge windows so you can see out into the enclosed yard/garden where there are also tables and, get this, proper bike stands to lock your bikes to. Apparently they do a good fry up or so two blokes told me who were walking their dogs as I was leaving. I just had coffee and a deliciously moist lemon sponge cake.
Photos will be attached soon and if I can work out how to do it, I'll put a marker on the map.

Edit p how do I put a marker on the map? I don't 'do' google maps; I can see on one of the layers that the cafe is already on the standard map but it's not got a 'member's marking' on the CC map.

In my very clunky words:

On the CC map, at the top is a search bar
Under that is what looks like an upside down teardrop. Click on that.
Then click on the map, where your cafe is. A little details box should pop up.
Add the name of the cafe and some details (ie, best cake to choose)
Click save

No there isn't. There's a legend that says
Add your favourite coffee stops for the rest of us.

and under that it says
cycle chat cafes layer
and has a list of cafes, 230 ish of them.

When I collapse the legend, I just have a map. No search bar. Do I need to sign in or something? I don't need to sign in to street view.

Maybe you do in order to contribute . @Sea of vapours - can you answer this question?

 

[Sea of vapours]

Yes, you do have to be signed in to a) see the search bar and b) add cafes. At least, when I sign out, I can't do either thing so I presume that sign-in is necessary. Further, having signed in, you need to reload the map in a new tab since, for me anyway, a simple refresh post sign-in does not produce the search bar and editing icons.

I looked at the map with 200 plus cafes captured thus far. Most of the riding appear to take place around non-urban areas - hills and edges of large forest areas. In fact the flat areas are under represented especially in the centre of England.

My guess is scenic areas has a draw on riding activities.

I think it reflects where we live more than where we like to cycle. I'd love a bit of flat but it's all rolling hills here.

Tis flat round here but I can't sign in to put cafes on the map ...

You don't need to be logged in. It's already on the Google map. On twice now.
