Cake shop stop

[Ludwig]

I sadly gave into temptation and dived into Greggs in Treorchy and bought a doughnut, five Scotch pancakes and a cheese and onoin pasty whilst on a long ride through the valleys of South Wales. Have any of you done any emergency cake shop stops. It did just about give me enough energy to get home although the pasty wasn't the best I'd ever had but the pancakes and doughnut were alright.

I do find myself stopping at road side "mobile cafes" on occasion. I usually just get Coke and Flapjack though

I plan my rides around cake shops

 

[coffeejo]

Far too often . I frequent independent cafes, though. If you support local businesses, not only do you get better cake, karma means you consume fewer calories/cycle faster.

You went to Greggs?

Count yourself lucky, circumstances once contrived to force me to stop at a McDonalds for extra 'fuel' - I use the term loosely.

Purveyors of cake-shaped objects

Most of the time when I'm on my own I eat on the move but every group ride always involve a cafe stop

CSO's

The last time I bought a CSO from Greggs, most of it oozed through the bag before I got round to eating it, only cake that needed to be eaten using an icecream scoop

My wife once told me not to go shopping for food when hungry.

I resisted the obvious retort about it seeming a very good time to choose (this with a view to prolonging our relationship).

However, it turns out she was right... up to a point. It appears (and I have empirical evidence) that the human subject shopping for food when hungry makes the most dreadful decisions and buys the most awful kak.

If I stock up beforehand with all the edible delights I'll need for a ride, I make it home happy. This means fig rolls and malt loaf)

If I start to bonk and head for a foodshop or a cafe... it all goes horribly wrong. In fairness to the OP, I have never learned this lesson and I hope I never do.

There is hardly a finer feeling than belching my way through a second slice of pecan pie with a cup of sweet tea to wash down a BLT... while my bicycle sits outside and I'm 40 miles from home....

Urrrrp.... (pardon me)
