Four riders met at Pretty Corner on a wet and windy day for a ride to Purdy’s at Woodgate Nursery Aylsham. The planned route took us through East Beckham, Lower Gresham, Sustead, Hansworth, Alby Hill, Erpingham, Felmingham, Tuttington and Burgh Next Aylsham, with Harvey joining us for part of the route. Despite the forecast of heavy rain we only encountered drizzle until we reached Aylsham when the heavens opened up! However, once settled in the cafe we soon warmed up and all enjoyed a good lunch. After lunch we were surprised to find that the rain had stopped and although cold it was a pleasant ride back through Oulton Street, Corputsy, Briston and Edgefielld were Brian left us for home. With threat of rain clear from the sky a slighter shorter route was taken back to PC via. Baconsthorpe, with Andrew departing for home part way through. The rain did arrive giving a damp end to the day but overall a good ride considering the poor forecast with a good lunch stop.
