Ride report by Doug H
Mark, Neil, Doug, Chris and Andrew met at a dry PC following a night and early morning of rain, but they were pleased to be faced with what may have been the warmest ride of 2026. With that, they set off towards Bodham and on to High Kelling to collect Ian. At this point, Doug and Ian then spent the rest of the morning trying to work out their undiagnosable squeaks. You’ve got to love cycling!
The peloton continued on into a slight headwind through Wiveton and Glandford, past the Langham Dome and the Spitfire, on to Binham, Hindringham, Wighton and then Walsingham, where we stopped for a very reasonably priced and excellent-quality lunch. Once lunch had been consumed, Chris was up and away, wanting to get back and practise for the start of the time trial season.
With that, and with a more leisurely approach, the rest of us set off with a bit of a tailwind. We headed towards Great Snoring, on to Hindringham, Bale, Sharrington, Brinton, Stody, and then skirted by Briston and on to Baconsthorpe, where Neil headed off home — but not before a duel began between Andrew and Ian. Ian just edged out Andrew by a wheel in the first race, and then Andrew won by a couple of bike lengths in the final race of the day. Well done, chaps — good riding!
With the duel over, Ian headed back home and Doug set off for Cromer via Gresham, with the final two heading back to PC. A very nice day’s riding in the warmth and sunshine — roll on spring!
PC to PC was 46.2 miles at an average 15.0 mph
