Ride report by Andrew B
Six riders met at PC on a sunny spring morning for a run to Nelsons Cafe, Wells, including occasional visitor Ian who was staying in Holt. The planned route took us through East Beckham, Baconsthorpe, Edgefield, Briston, Stody, Brinton, Sharrington, Field Dalling and Binham, were Ian left us to make his own way back to Holt. The remainder then continued on through Westgate and Warham.
On arrival at Wells we found Nelsons relatively quiet (although it quickly filled) and ordered light lunches of sandwiches and soup. Alas, although arriving at 11:30am we were still too late for breakfast! The food and drinks were good with a number finding room for the excellent cake choices. Chris stuck to his diet and refused to partake in this – there could be no stopping him soon!
After lunch we stopped at Wells quay, then continued through Holkham park (a slog as we were now dead into the wind), Wighton, Binham, Langham, Wiveton and High Kelling, were Ian A left us for home. The remaining four continued back to PC, with Andy leaving us for home at the top of Red Barn lane. The days combativity prize was difficult to decide, with Chris leading a big sprint in the morning from Binham and Ian and Mark make several breaks on the hilly sections in the afternoon. Overall, a great days ride in spring weather conditions.
Graham A has started his hospital treatment, so will be out of action for a few weeks, we wish him all the best.
