George, can you add me please.
Personally, I prefer a longer ride of 50 miles however on the original route as the cafe is at 34 miles from the start (38 miles on the second suggestion) this will take at 2+ hours at C ride pace to reach the cafe, potentially overshooting the proposed arrival time.

Are you still looking for wheels? I have a set which I've just taken off my single speed commuter. Formula hubs and Chinra rims, rear is 120 (but you may want to check), still some life in them. PM or Messenger me to have look, based in Harborne area.
