Chris, I was planning to head west too but solo as I wanted to leave earlier to be back in time for things afterwards. However I see from the forum that you're thinking of shortening the ride which might allow an earlier return. Would coffee still be at Spokes? I'll wait and see, perhaps leaving earlier to do an extra loop before meeting you for coffee.
Hi Chris, just to confirm that I'll stick with Plan A, an earlier departure. I'll mostly use your route. If I'm still at Spokes when you arrive I can buy you a coffee as a royalty!
