Re: The logic of logistics
All of the garden waste that Leeds City Council collects with its brown bin scheme is sent down the M62 to Hull. Thats a fleet of lorrys making a round trip of over 100 miles. It doesnt seem very green to me.

i see a few replys are form folk in the Leeds area and was wondering who you go out cycling with or are you just solo? reason for asking is i'm struggling to find a club or group to ride with who like rides and bikes like i do. i've only just joined the forum and CTC.
kind regards
If you are in the Leeds area try the Leeds Cycling Action Group.
http://leedscyclists.org.uk/ They have long social rides every alternate Sunday plus an easy riders group every Saturday Morning. The easy riders are 15 miles maximum at the pace of the slowest rider. The longer rides are about 60 miles at a touring pace. Starting this Sunday 8th April there are also some intermediate rides of about 35 miles at the pace of the slowest rider.If you are interested and want any more info let me know.

The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death.

Re: Vegetables die in Artic Conditions
Same here. For the first time in over 40 years all my garlic has been wiped out along with my overwintering caulis.Spring Cabbage looks to be doing okay though.

Restaurant 21 is closed to the puplic for the next week or so. Something to do with a new managment team taking over. It will be open as normal after that and they intend to still welcome cyclists.

Re: Cyclist cafe
Most cyclists use the motorbike cafe at Newthorpe just outside of Sherburn. Its location is here.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3461052
its a big old pub, the name of which escapes me, but most people still call it Squires from when it was a small cafe in the centre of Sherburn.
The other possibility is in South Milford. Not so much a cyclist cafe but the poshest and most expensive tea rooms you will ever visit. Well worth a visit just for the experience. The location is here.

Re: Booo!
Before I retired I spent the last 32 years of my working life delivering for Parceline. I can tell you that it was a sackable offence to leave goods at any address other than the one on the parcel, unless you had written authority. Of course we all left parcels with neighbours etc and a blind eye was turned to it, that was untill a parcel went missing and the rule book was thrown at the driver concerned. After that I always returned to the depot every parcel that I could'nt deliver to the correct address.
