Ride report by Mark M
With holidays and illness, Mark was alone at PC but had arranged to meet Clive A, at the Selbrigg junction.
As it was a cloudy day with a very cold north easterly wind, it was back to leg warmers and full finger gloves as well as the winter base layer. Knowing that Clive was cycling from Blakeney and back, together with the miserable day, the route was shorted and Junction 21 became the café stop.
It was a fast wind assisted route via Edgefield, Briston, Hindolveston and Foulsham to the café. We were pleased to get inside and get some hot food and drinks. The café was fairly busy during our visit, though no other cyclists turned up.
It was no warmer after lunch but now we had the headwind for the leg home as we went via Kerdiston, Wood Dalling to Corpusty. Then it was along the Matlaske Road to Little Barningham, where we turned for Plumstead and Baconsthorpe and up Bodham Hill to a fast turning wind turbine.
At the end of the road Clive turned for High Kelling and Blakeney, hoping that the wind would now be helping him, while I returned to PC.
PC to PC was 36.6 miles though Clive would have done about 50 miles
Average speed 15.0 mph
