First ride report by Andy S – Thanks Andy!
After all the cold weather and the Christmas break we finally met at PC for the first ride of 2025. The weather was very misty and damp but warm for the time of year.
Five members set off from PC ( Mark, Andrew, Ian, Chris and Andy) through to Gresham and onto Hanworth where we met Graham. Onwards to Aldborough, Aylsham, Oulton Street and then to Cawston. Just before Cawston we found the road closed due to the electric cable laying ( the first of two road closures). Retracing our route we found an alternative way into Cawston.
Lunch break was at “All Things Nice “ Cawston, where we sampled their excellent fry ups.
We had a presentation given by Mark to Chris S for the most punctures on Club Rides for 2024, with 6 punctures in the year. He was awarded a very smart puncture repair kit.
After lunch Graham and Chris left the group for a more direct route home ( Chris for domestic duties). The remaining four of us headed off through Booton (past Steven Fry’s former house ), Reepham, Kerdiston and Wood Dalling. The roads were wet and dirty and every farmer on Norfolk has been trimming road side hedges so amazing no punctures to report.
I dropped off at Corpusty and left the remaining three to make their way back to PC.
(Editor’s note-Andrew B punctured after hitting a hole at the end of Town Close Lane and we fixed his front Gatorskin on Edgefield Road)
All bikes will be needing a good wash and maintenance after this ride. Clean bikes will be inspected at the next ride.
PC to PC was 45.3 miles at an average of 13.7 mph
Riders: Andy S, Chris S, Andrew B, Ian A, Mark M, Graham A
