Every time I've been there on a mid ride cake and coffee stop this little chap turns up, bit of a local legend. So tame it's unreal, doesn't often have stuff on the table but will happily come up, eyeball you for a bit then eat off your plate with you! managed to catch him on the phones camera the other day. I'm sure that anyone who uses the caff will know him - legend! Obligatory bike pic  scoffing what's put out - flapjack of course!  Right, what else have you got?  I'm having what's on your plate - are we doing this the easy way? or do you want it the hard way.  Sorry to bore you all but it was a solo ride - sometimes solo rides throw up these moments, which I love. At least it's not a bike against a fence! He hopped up to my plate just after the last shot, had some more flapjack and pissed orf! thought I'd share. Also I'm sat at home, full of cold and bored  |

Believe me, I got dead lucky there - as i took the photo he was still scoffing - by the time the shutter went he had decided to hop over to me to see what I was eating - dead lucky!

There was a dead tame squirrel on the trail down from Stile cop to the upper cliff decent. Oh no my mistake, he was just dead!

When we spotted it the other week I got to the top of that horrendous climb before one of my riding mates (who is a vet). I made out like there was an animal emergency, the poor thing was almost mummified!

I've heard tales from the forestry lads of how over a number of weeks they tamed a fox to come very close while eating their bait ..
Bloody inquisitive creatures .. I chased one along a forest road once and when it jumped into the tree cover it didn't keep running but instead turned , crouched down and watched as I passed by ..

Robins are cute but on the downside a bird took the time to shit all over me on a bike ride over baggeridge a couple of years ago, i swear there was that much he must have been saving it up for me and it was warm. I thought i was gonna be sick, but when my hubby pointed out that it was a sign of good luck i scraped it off with leaves and went straight to buy a lottery ticket. It isnt lucky, just sticky and worse than riding through dog poo imo.

I was with a bird once who wanted me to shit on her.. I think that's a story for a different thread though.

I was at the cafe yesterday.. It was full to the brim with roadies talking about heart rates and cadence. I got me flap-jack and coffee and went and sat well away from them! I didn't want people thinking I was with them  |
