The plan was perfect. The execution flawless. RVYC cyclers would work themselves into a lather taking offence to the statement they couldn’t make it two days. How dare I?
OK, so the execution wasn’t quite flawless and people gathered from Dennis’ blog that it was a shortage of coffee shops that would do them in. But it wasn’t for my lack of diligence. I knew Dennis and I were both in the throws of caffeine withdrawals and capable of irrational acts. We had talked of little else. “We’ve gone thirty km, there should be a coffee shop soon.” “Come on, sixty km there has to be one any minute.” “Look, a town only 10 k out of way, for sure they will have a coffee shop.” Nope, nada, zip. Two long days in a row with nary a coffee shop let alone a bakery. Towns with nothing in them other than a grocery store, and trust me, we checked out the grocery stores.
So I suspected Dennis was likely to spill the beans and ruin my scheme. Therefore before he posted his blog I read it and removed references to the absence of coffee shops. Well I removed two references, one of which I should note was a whole paragraph. But he had snuck in a third reference which I missed and which clearly a number of you didn’t. Foiled.
I feel like the Grinch who stole Christmas only to find out he’d gotten the day wrong.
That darn Dennis.

shared your emails with mom and she also finds it difficult to understand the scarcity of coffee! Why would Don travel to a country like that when he could be home!
Oh, and when is Sue going to send updated pictures of the kitchen?
