Probably the best located tea rooms for a cyclist in the country.

Huge scones baked on the premises each morning and tea made the traditional way with loose leaves rather than tea bags.

My main problem on that ride is having the will power not to stop there soon after the start of the ride as well as towards the end.

On a side note I don't believe that I'm becoming a better/stronger cyclist as I get older. I have done this ride many times and I really struggled on this one up the hills. Haven't had to stop on the climbs before.
