A Message From Dome

6 Comments

Hi guys!

Spring is definitely upon us and the numbers of cyclists arriving at the cafe on Saturday morning is increasing just like the temperature.

I just wanted to let you all know that I am currently working on acquiring some new granite tables for our al fresco area to increase seating capacity for summer.

We also have some bike racks on the way that will enable you to rack your bikes when you come in for a coffee. Hurrah!

Most of you don’t know this – but getting approval for having cyclists come to the cafe as been a huge drama. It’s taken me ten months of negotiation with our building management to come to a arrangement that we are both happy with.

The good news is cyclists on Saturday mornings have the green light! All we ask is that you look after the building and your bikes when you are in the area, and when the racks arrive please use them.

Thanks again to you all for supporting the cafe. We all certainly love having you here – and the more the merrier!

If any of you have any questions about the cycling – coffee relationship, want to use the place for a function, or want your coffee remade because we didn’t get it right – please don’t hesitate to ask me. I’m the one guy wandering around behind the bar in lycra, or chewing stem in Main 1.

Thanks again,

Toby

Post-exercise Caffeine Helps Muscles Refuel
Glycogen, the muscle’s primary fuel source during exercise, is replenished more rapidly when athletes ingest both carbohydrate and caffeine following exhaustive exercise, new research shows. Athletes (cyclists) who ingested caffeine with carbohydrate had 66% more glycogen in their muscles four hours after finishing intense, glycogen-depleting exercise, compared to when they consumed carbohydrate alone, according to the study undertaken by Australian researchers.


And by far the ultimate stylish, lightweight and aerodynamic method for consumption of your caffeinated performance and recovery beverage…

Schmolke Carbon in Germany has created a carbon fibre coffee cup!As the group’s resident coffee pusher I have had a few people ask about getting some more Fiori beans.
I am back cycling again (albeit slower than I would prefer) so I can’t bring it with me on the day. However, if I get orders before midday Friday I will drop them down to the “Bells” on my way home ready for collection the next morning.
Put your orders in the comments.
