Ride Report by Andrew B
Two riders met at PC for a ride to the Skeyton Goat on a fine summer’s day (at last!). After a short postponement caused by both riders taking calls, the two set of via East Beckham, Gresham, Bessingham, Sustead and Hunworth, where we met Graham A as prearranged (he had phoned us to see what was keeping us!). The three then carried on through Suffield, Felmingham and onto Skeyton Corner. At this point we encountered a number of road closures that caused the leader to become lost and divert from the planned route (no change there then!). We therefore made our way through Westwick, Swanton Abbott, Worstead and Baderfield. As this had taken about five miles off the route we arrived ten minutes before the pub opened. However, we were able to sit in the lovely garden in the sun. Having ordered as soon as the pub opened, we were served very quickly and all enjoyed an excellent lunch sitting outside for a change.
The route back took us through Tuttington, Aylsham, Ingworth and Itteringham, where Graham left us to make his own way back home. The remaining two then went through Little Barningham, Edgefield and Hempstead, where Duncan split off for home. A great day’s cycling in beautiful sunny weather for a change. It was good to see Graham back to a good level of fitness again.
