Local Coffee Stops
To add new coffee shops to the list, email web@ccashwell.com
{NEW} Not a coffee shop but nonetheless a good stop: the Wagon and Horses in Steeple Morden. The manager is very willing to lock the bikes in the barn whilst the riders have a drink or even something to eat. A local business that we pass regularly so drop in to show your support.
