Turns out getting up early and going for a ride and getting a coffee with your friends is an excellent way to spend a Friday morning. This is a start of a series focusing on this mightily pleasurable experience! We asked each rider; What is your go to coffee order? & What was your highlight of the ride? There were 6 of us today and here are the results:

Sarah
What is your go to coffee order? Oat flat white
What was your highlight of the ride? Finally getting down onto the beach while the tide was out and having a little nose around tiny creatures homes in the rock pools. Finding a big eyed baby eel, and a teeny crab that couldn’t scuttle away fast enough
Laura
What is your go to coffee order? Oat flattie
What was your highlight of the ride? The pink soft pink light as the sun comes up, and getting to start my day with my mates; having a giggle, catching up, and generally being silly on our bikes.
Anna
What is your go to coffee order? Americano for thawing out the hands
What was your highlight of the ride? Learning that common seals have rounder, shorter faces and stubby noses (more cat-like); grey seals have bigger, flatter heads and longer noses (more dog-like). Sea lions have ears but seals don’t. All this critical seal ID knowledge acquired before 8am 🤓
Mason
What is your go to coffee order? Long Black
What was your highlight of the ride? The light right as the sun started coming up reflecting off of the cliff(e)s
Andy
What is your go to coffee order? Oat flat white, paired with a delicious Cinnamon swirl
What was your highlight of the ride? I think it was watching the sunrise, peaking its little smiley face out from the clouds. It was giving peak telly tubbies
Gareth
What is your go to coffee order? Flat White
What was your highlight of the ride? Getting to do some rock pooling and finding a baby eel under the second rock we turned over! A real treat for a rock pooling nerd like myself.
