The club runs section has been labouring under an abundance of commitments recently. These include medical treatment, convalescence, holidays, property maintenance, family visits and a leg of the Round Norfolk Relay. On another excellent late summer’s day, only Mark, Chris, Brian and Harvey could make it for the trip down to the Mardler’s Rest Cafe and the latter pair didn’t join in until Barningham. On a fresh, bright and breezy morning, it was basically tailwind out on a route that was conventional as far as Colkirk, before turning south through Whissonsett to Stanfield, crossing the B1145 to pick up the secluded lane down to the sand and gravel workings at Bittering, turning back east past the lost medieval village of Little Bittering and through Gressenhall village to the museum cafe, which was quiet today. A rising ENE wind, backing NE, made for a hard-working ride back, via Hoe, Swanton Morley, Elsing, along the south side of the Wensum to Attlebridge, turning north up the climb to Swannington and on to Cawston, Itteringham and directly back to Pretty Corner.
Distances: 66 miles to 80 miles.
Next week it is back east again. This time along the lanes to Bacton.
