Anyone else missing their favorite CAFÉ stops

Same, all our routes have coffee stops some in between others at the end.

Most definitely. I miss being able to ride with friends and hanging out at the coffee shop after the ride. Riding by myself and a Xoom happy hour isn't quite the same.

I work in a firehouse, and being old, I don't make the coffee. It usually comes out looking very thick and black like think old motor oil. I can't drink firehouse coffee, but always went up to the coffee shop for a few cups on my other two days off. (24hours at work, 48 hours off)

I haven't had a cup in two weeks now. The headaches are gone and I no longer have the urge to walk up the street to the gas station.

Now I just keep thinking about buying a coffee maker when I'm out shopping. We'll see.

Coffee and a great bagel in a small shop with local atmosphere, the newspaper and classic jazz playing in the background and I get to ride there on my bike...Nirvana my friend.

I have a favorite coffee and bakery spot that is located about 45-50 miles away, depending on route selected to pedal there.
Kind of surreal to think about that now. Seeing as how in the past few months I could use a compass to draw a 5-mile circle around my home.

I don't think Nirvana would be considered classic jazz.

I totally miss my coffee stops. I have one on each of my 2 hour routes and a couple of cafes on my four hour routes. I also miss the bathrooms. I’m good for the 2 hour rides, but I’m been worried about the 4 hour rides. I would need a comfort stop.

Looks nice. I stop at the Costco by the duck pond at mile 4 on the bike trail.

I usually spend about $15 a day a various coffee shops.

Sounds about right.

Our team is sponsored by a local coffee shop and every sat/sun we would start our group rides there. Really missing both of those things right now, even though we’ve still been able to get beans to brew at home.

that sounds great! - the only problem is you live in GA, so you would have to ride your bike about a 1000 miles north to find that great bagel
