Ride Report by Graham A
This ride had been postponed from the previous day because of a severe frost which had made many surfaces slippery.
Three riders left Pretty Corner at 10:30, a later start, because the lunch stop was not opening until noon. A direct route was taken to Matlaske crossroads via Red Barn Lane. On the way to Itteringham we were joined by Chris who had left home late and had made a supreme effort to catch up.
After Itteringham the four riders went direct to Cawston, Eastgate and then Buxton having crossed the B1149 and A140. Buxton Mill looked attractive in the sunshine. Passing Lamas and Badersfield the Goat at Skeyton was soon reached and bang on time for its opening. Lunch was somewhat delayed, but food and ambience were very good.
After lunch, Duncan left us to ride back to Corpusty while the three remaining riders rode to Felmingham, Antingham and Southrepps. Graham left for home near Northrepps Hall. The two remaining riders rode back to PC via Crossdale Street, Metton and Gresham.
PC to PC 40 miles.
Riders: Graham A – leader, Duncan S, Mark M and Chris S.
Please note: Andrew B and Ian A did the ride on Wednesday 8th February leaving for Skeyton Goat when most of the ice had melted. They had other commitments on the Thursday.
