Ride report by Andy S
After a couple of weeks of cold wind and rain, leading to two cancelled rides, Wednesday morning was a pleasant relief. The morning was cold but the sun was out and no sign of rain.
Due to work commitments and holidays only three members met at P.C. (Mark M, Chris S and Andy S ). We set off through Gresham, Hanworth, Bradfield and North Walsham. The lanes were still very wet and muddy and with the help of the low sun we had to proceed with caution.
From North Walsham the route took us down into Worstead and through the lanes to Wroxham Barns.
Having reached Wroxham Barns at 11:40 we had just missed the breakfast menu. Eagle eyed Mark spotted two mains for £10.00. Mark and Andy shared this option of Baked Potato and BLT. Poor Chris had to settle for soup and bread. Tea was ordered all round . There was so much that for the first time ever we had to leave some in the pot. This has never been heard of before! Andy S put his hand in his very deep and cobwebby pocket to buy the very belated Birthday cakes.
On leaving the cafe we met Malcolm S at the entrance just arriving to meet us. So after a brief chat we left Malcolm to go in for his tea and cake.
The trio left and skirted around the edge of Coltishall, onto Buxton, Brampton and Aylsham, into Ingworth and up to Calthorpe . Here Andy S turned off to go home to Corpusty, leaving Mark and Chris to carry on through Wickmere, Bessingham and back to P.C.
A good day out with the sun on our backs and no threat of rain.
PC to PC was 45.4 miles at an average of 14.7mph
