Ride report by Andy S
Three members met at P.C. (Mark, Andrew and Andy ) on this very cold, dull morning with a bracing south easterly wind ( A lazy wind that goes straight through you ).
We were a little late leaving P.C. due to a potential new member driving up to introduce himself (Barry).
We set off through Gresham, Aylmerton, Felbrigg Hall and onto Cromer Zoo where we met Doug and Ian. The five riders carried on through Northrepps towards Antingham. A small road around Southrepps was a bit of a challenge as the badgers had been digging the road up. So lots of holes to dodge!
We continued through Colby and Erpingham to our stop of the day at Alby Cafe. Up to this point we seemed to be fighting a cold headwind, so the Cafe was a welcome sight. We met Graham here who had saved us a table. Unfortunately he had to leave us at the Cafe due to family commitments. Coffee and fry ups were the order of the day topped up with more coffee and cake.
After lunch we carried on through Ingworth, Aylsham and Oulton. Andy S turned off to Corpusty leaving the remaining four riders to make their way up through Itteringham, Wickmere and back to P.C.
Although very cold it was nice to ride on dryish roads giving us an uneventful ( no punctures or broken spokes) ride.
PC to PC was 44.6 miles at an average 14.2 mph
Riders: Andy S, Andrew B, Mark M, Ian A, Doug H, Graham A
