An anecdote along the lines of 'Cycling long distances to the works to get a free cuppa and chocolate bar...' and ways to cheat...When I was a stoodent in Leeds, I'd quite often have a pre/post Almscliff/Caley fry up at the Otley cafe (Bridge St Cafe I believe it is really called- who's breakfast has only gone up from £1.95 to £2.95 in 18 years...) and its also a famous cyclists cafe.. 2 or three times when I was there, you could hear the distant jangling of jewelry and Jimmy Saville, sorry, Sir Jimmy would roll up on his road bike, fully lycra/ron hilled up, go and get a cuppa and a bacon roll and sit out in the sun being friendly to all and sundry. Good on him I used to think - still out on the bike at his age (he was high 60's then..).Three years later, the then MrsT's house mates boyfriend was from Otley, and over a few beers I was relaying this tale to him. He used to live around the corner from the cafe, and scoffed at me - "pah, he used to park up a transit around the corner, get his bike out the back and cycle the 200m to the cafe"...

Do you recon he used to pull the same trick with the marathons? park up a transit 200mm from the Mall......
Don'y worry jon we are expanding, in a couple of weeks there will be something like an extra 150sqm compared with what was available last night I was wearing a uniform last night: Cypher pants, Rab duvet and beanie
There was a satnav mount on the windscreen so watch your stuff...
