Not just the location for our Sigma Sports Oakham store, the area also boasts a maze-like network of trails, perfect for exploring by bike. We all know that exploring is hungry and thirsty work and therefore no visit to the area is quite complete without a stop off at Hambleton Bakery.
Pharmacie Coffee Roasters
Lewes, East Sussex
A traditional market town, Lewes is nestled in East Sussex and is a stone's throw from the South Downs National Park and the beautiful beaches that pepper the area. As well as a haven for holidaymakers, the roads and trails around the town make it an ideal place to ride a bike and as Amy and Alex found out, no spin in the area is quite complete without a visit to Pharmacie Coffee Roasters.
Lodestar Coffee
Clapton, London
On the fringes of central London and away from the coffee shop chains and run of the mill eateries you will find Lodestar Coffee. Passionate when it comes to their beans, the Lodestar team prides themselves on their community focused offering and delicious, carefully picked coffees that are designed to invigorate the taste buds. It was, as you can imagine, not too difficult to convince Zack and Molly to get kitted up to take a spin out to the cafe to sample some of their delicacies for themselves.
Cadence
Litlington, East Sussex
Less than 20 miles east of Brighton sits one of the south coast's best cycling friendly cafes, Cadence.
