Topic: Yet Another Norfolk Ride Posted: 02/January/2009 at 19:04 |
|
19th April
Let's say 10am meet for a 10:30am start
The main start will be at Mike Burrows workshop in Rackheath just outside of Norwich...... nr13 6px
Mike is letting people look around his workshop and use his facilities before and after the ride
more the merrier
Any type of bike welcomed This ride open to all people of all forums The pace is not for the lycra clad racing snakes but for the people who enjoy chatting whilst cycling
Nearest campsite is
Martineau Lane Norwich, Norwich, NR1 2HX
There is a 9:30am start at NR1 4JZ which closest to the campsite and this ride will link up at Rackheath
Loads of room for carparking at Rackheath
some more surprises this year if people arrive early(Fri or Sat) an extra ride can be added
p.s Its Mikes birthday

I will think about it, I may take a day off work, ride out Saturday, camp then do the ride, camp then ride back on the Monday. Train not really feasible due to the route being a very long way round (thanks Mr Beeching). Or I may see if I can borrow a car.

It is a long day but I did that route from Wakefield to Norwich many years ago after being unable to afford the train and being quoted 9hrs by coach.
180 miles in 12hours elapsed time... on an upright!

Hi Lee There will be a few of us camping at martineau rd. It's a nice little site and only a cyclepath from proper coffee at Sainsbury's. Some are cycling there, some arriving by train and I'm driving. Last year we were four, but hoping for more this year because we are promoting this as our April camp on our Cycle Camp and Tour forum.

Hi Nobby,
In Spirit of the good relationships twixt camp and tour vs Travelling Light forums I am tempted to join you on this one (It is near to a special anniversary date for me!)
Does the camping need to be booked in advance? Will I be allowed to hold my head up if I arrive en voiture?

At the pace of sailing ships and bicycles.
