and linked to it from there – https:\/\/summit2ride.com\/2016\/10\/05\/the-cafe-ride-westerham-cyclery\/ I thought I should add my own pictures and very positive comments, having been hosted into hosted by their very friendly staff!\"img_6246\"<\/a> I went there to meet up with a cycling Glasgow Green Cycle Club friend, Susie Goodwin, and then to ride one of the climbs back over the North Downs.<\/p>\n

The highlight of my visit, I have to own up to, was the (two pieces of!) bread pudding, but they have all sorts of cakes and drinks, plus a well stocked bike shop, a very safe place in the courtyard to park (and lock if desired) the bike, and tables and seats in that courtyard for<\/p>\n

a quiet al fresco rest.<\/p>\n

\"img_6244\"<\/a>I am based near Glasgow in Scotland, but now, added to the Spitfire caf\u00e9 in Biggin Hill, Westerham Cyclery will be at the top of list for my next ride south of London when visiting family. The caf\u00e9 garden is a great place to meet people and relax.<\/p>\n

\"img_6336\"<\/a>From a riding point of view, there are quite a few climbs back over the North Downs, including Chalkpit Lane which I rode on another visit. My first return was via the signposted route from Westerham to Croydon, which is a more gentle climb that anyone can manage, so go ahead and make a visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
