Cafe alert - BB200
It appears that there may be another food/water/brew option at 138km. It's a community cafe and they'd quite like to relieve you of some money in exchange for tea, cake, etc.
I have to say, I've no real idea of opening hours (they open on demand and know all about the BB200) but it might be an option, especially for those at the pointy end of things.

Re: Cafe alert - BB200
Remember seeing the community centre when doing the winter event (I was checking out the back for somewhere to kip officer, honest! ) and seeing the cafe marked on Google maps when tracing the route. Somehow I don't think they'll be open when I get there.

Re: Cafe alert - BB200
I'd love for them to be open... but I SERIOUSLY doubt they will be when I'm there.
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
Being lazy, to save me doing so, can someone get the lat long coordinates and post here?
Would be good to program into the Garmin

ish - that's quickly off google earth for the rough place. It's after Llanbister, but before Llanidloes.

This is in decimal format which might be easier to enter in to the Garmin

Great news about Glyndwr's Way Café for this weekend's riders. Belinda has just rang to say she is willing to do a night shift and will be open from 6pm Saturday until 8am Sunday. Serving baked potatoes, soup and cake

Re: Cafe alert - BB200
Hmmm. I'd been umming and ahhhing over packing the stove for the second half. It was in, might now come back out.
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
Amazing! Hot soup will be much appreciated I'm sure!

This popped up on Google maps when I was looking yesterday but I'd written it off as unlikely to be open. Someone should give them a link to the Spotwalla page.
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
WOW! I hope I get this far in time for tea and cake.
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
This place was like an oasis. Very very grateful
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
The back half of my ride would certainly have been a lot less pleasant without them, it was absolutely brilliant
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
Hopefully they made a decent chunk of money.
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
The consensus between Stu Cowp, Ian Fitz, Lee Craigee and myself was that next year's version should pass through here at around 130km

Absolutely! Although with a different end
Re: Cafe alert - BB200
Maybe twice - 130km and then again at 170km when the first round of cake/soup has worn off.Ian wrote:The consensus between Stu Cowp, Ian Fitz, Lee Craigee and myself was that next year's version should pass through here at around 130km
Really hope she enjoyed the night shift and made some money as a little oasis is worth a pot of gold.

They are on Twitter and Facebook - @Glyndwrswaycafe
The night shift brought in £400 so it seems like everyone is happy
