Try being the oldest rider in a group of 8 ranging from 18 to 58. The youngsters never have any money, the fit ones have competitions of last one up the hill buys the coffee, and muggins here falls for it. Discount? just let me know where you can get one for 6 coffees, 2 teas, 3 muffins and 5 pastries.
