Ride report by Andrew B
Four riders met at PC on a damp late autumn morning for a ride to Lily’s Tearoom, Hadfields Garden Centre, North Walsham.
The planned route took us through West Beckham, Selbrigg (where we picked up Clive), Hempstead, Plumstead, Little Barningham, Wolterton, Colby, Felmingham, Skeyton and Westwick. Unfortunately, Chris had a rear puncture just after Colby but this was soon fixed with some assistance from Mark and encouragement from others.
On arrival at the cafe we found Ian and Graham already there and they had grabbed large table for us all. We all enjoyed a good lunch with some opting for cakes as well! We were rather fortunate as soon after we had finished there was a power cut and all further order had to be cancelled. We were also lucky as the rain that had started as we arrived and became quite heavy stopped just before we left.
Ian left early to make his own way home and Graham also as he had come by car. The remainder took the planned route back through Briggate, Spa Common, North Walsham, Bradfield, Lower Street, Thorpe Market, Metton, Sustead, Lower Gresham and East Beckham.
Unfortunately, Chis had another puncture at the half way mark, this time in the front wheel! He urged us to carry on without him which we duly did, but not without the obligatory photo!
Overall, a good ride which was mostly dry despite the forecast showers and good views (see photo below from Ian).
