The Cafe Run Is A Proper Ride

Some people talk down the cafe run like it is not a real ride. Nonsense. A good cafe run is one of the purest forms of biking: a manageable route, a reason to go, a place to talk, and a ride home before the day disappears.

It works for new riders, busy riders, older bikes, mixed groups, and anyone who wants miles without turning Sunday into logistics. The cafe is not a weakness in the plan. It is the anchor.

Not every ride has to cross counties to count. Sometimes forty good miles and a bacon roll are exactly the point.
