EVERY Thursday morning, at 9am on the dot - rain, hail or shine, but not wind - an informal group of cyclists has been meeting at the Ansett Museum for three years to ride to Tarrington’s Café Catalpa for their morning coffee.

Sadly, today is their last ride to the iconic restaurant, as owners, chef Michael Hilsdon, and mother, Heather Hilsdon, have made the decision as of tomorrow to close their restaurant after 14 years.
